This is my third book by Irvin D. Yalom, and sadly, I suppose this is his last book. He finished this book at around 90 years old, and this year he will turn 95, changing from long-term therapies with patients to one consultation meetings after the death of his wife and during the global pandemic. The brightest and touching stories of these one consultation meetings are presented in the book written in collaboration with his son Benjamin. The book was regrettably finished wit

Firstly, I saw a movie several times in Kyiv with Brad Pitt as the main character, and only in Germany did I read the book; of course, the book is much better and profound. The movie was Hollywoodized and romanticized too much. Honestly, the book is uncomfortable; it doesn’t offer enlightenment, it offers discomfort.

I read this book for almost five months, not because it is big and has more than 450 pages, but because it is not a novel; it is a memoir of a real man with real stories and experiences that should be consumed in parts and slowly digested. This book is very honest and true, and it resembles me our days despite the fact that the book was published more than 80 years ago; there is only one big difference, the path of everything now is much quicker and harsher.

Didn't you think about wearing someone else's shoes? Didn't you pretend to be someone else? Didn't you want to live someone else's life?  I am sure you did, as did the protagonist of the book, June Hayward….

I read this book one year ago, but I am not diligent in writing posts and articles on time. Today is a day I would like to share my vision and insights about the book. This is not the book you imagine; it is not a self-help, spiritual, or psychological book. “The Art of Happiness” is an attempt to combine Eastern Spirituality with Western Psychology, which is why the book is written by Psychiatrist Howard C. Cutler, who spoke and interviewed the Dalai Lama.

Every Saturday the magical huge glass doors are opened at 09:30am and people are queuing already at 09:15 to be the first ones to enter the other realms, the eternity of books: to listen to their stories, to breathe in their old and newly printed scent, to touch thousands of covers, and of course to be the first ones to sit at the table near the the panoramic windows on the first floor at a bookish cafe....

I did not hear about Aldous Huxley, but my sister recommended that I read his “Brave New World” after “1984”. 

This is my second book by Hesse, the first one was "Siddhartha", and this book was challenging for me not because the language was difficult, but because the way of writing was simple and complicated simultaneously. "The Glass Bead Game" is a 530-page book, on a 50-page I realized it was already not an introduction to the book but the novel itself, on about 350-400 I began to feel the deep meaning and symbolism; at the end, I understood why he was a genius. While "The Glass B

"One Life" is a deep and sincere biographical drama that tells the remarkable true story of Sir Nicholas Winton, portrayed by Anthony

I had not read "The Great Gatsby" before, only watched a movie with Leonardo di Caprio. I can't say that I disliked the movie at all,

This is my third book by the author after "The Artist's Way" which I read twice, and "Living the Artist's Way". "The Listening Path"

This almost 500-page book forces me to dive deeply into my essence through the stories of the protagonist and main characters. In this book

I read a lot of spiritual literature searching for answers that could potentially help me to go through my path.

"THE Gift" by Dr. Edith Eger is very honest, sincere and transformational. If you like your life, you love to live in a comfort zone

In March 2022, I fled Ukraine amidst the ravages of war, seeking refuge in Germany. War and its harrowing experiences are among the most cha

This is my first book by German-Swiss poet and novelist Hermann Hesse and I like it. I like the way he writes, I like the topics he depicts,

I heard a lot about Malala in 2015 and now is the the right time for me to read her book, to reveal her story, a story that became a voice
