That's a mind-shifting book that will change you forever.

Two main things that I took out of reading this:
1. Even more optimism about progress and the way everything develops. After reading It I returned to my inner optimism about everything and especially the future, despite the feeling that every year is worse than previous one
2. To dig even deeper into any concept. There are many things that I think I understand, but not really. And that's one of the best outcomes of reading the book Is that It shows you on examples that you can look much deeper into anything you know and get even more out of It.

Definitely to be re-read a few more times.

With all my heart I recommend reading the first part of the book. It contains very soultouching explanations of how the life works. It's written in esoteric fashion, but It gives right ideas and delivers it just where they should be.
And I completely not recommend reading two remaining parts (or at leas do it skeptically with your higher mind), since things are turning into crazy selling pitch of the awesomeness of the author and his school concealed as humility, but really is bragging. I heard the word “humblebrag” for such things

One of a few 5-star books I'm not sure If I want to recommend to anyone.
During the reading I've been swinging between “what a delirious shit, why am I reading this?” and “damn, that's ingenious!”. At the end I concluded It was the latter :)
Author really drags you into main character`s insanity and makes you dive into this parallel universe and out of It. Totally loved It

Good simple system to help you do good things regularly.

Simple world with simple characters, nice story. Just what you want at the end of a hard year
