Product Information

Actually, no, I am going to finish on a quote, because I love this one so much. He quotes one of his teachers, Ajahn Jayasor as saying The important thing here is not how efficiently we do this, but how we all feel afterwards. What is new in the book is Björn's personal story. He grew up in Sweden, studied economics (without questioning whether it was what he really wanted to do), started to forge a very successful career (without questioning whether it was what he really wanted to do). And then he questioned it.

Doris Day with Harry James - included in the album Young Man with a Horn. Released on Columbia CL-6106 in 1950. Is “I could be wrong” a common appropriate phrase? If yes, when I should use “I may be wrong” and “I could be wrong”. Let me tell you what this book is not. It's not about religion. It's not about telling you how to live your life. It's not about taking on a new set of beliefs. We like to think we understand what’s happening around us; that we can determine the path our life takes. But often, things don’t go that way - in fact, they rarely do. Life-changing. This book is sensational. If you're struggling, feeling a little lost, anxious or in need of a mental lift, please read it' ELLA MILLS, FOUNDER OF DELICIOUSLY ELLAThe Sunday Times bestselling book of comfort and timeless wisdom from former forest monk, Bj urn Natthiko Lindeblad Let me tell you what this audiobook is not. It's not about religion. It's not about telling you how to live your life. It's not about taking on a new set of beliefs. Plain and simple, it's about how to relate to your own thoughts and emotions in a way that makes your life more enjoyable, more free, brighter, clearer and wiser. First of all I would like to thank Milky, CJ, Paco, Philip, Rishonly and Goodman (others?) for their comments to my posts. I’m very grateful for this. Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney recorded the song in 1958 [13] for use on their radio show and it was subsequently included in the CD Bing & Rosie - The Crosby-Clooney Radio Sessions released in 2010.

This book really, really will stay with me forever. It's not only laced with the most incredible wisdom, but it's also gentle and beautiful and eloquent. It brought me so much joy and so much comfort' FEARNE COTTON The book is full of wisdom and wonderful stories, many of which I had heard but I still enjoyed listening to again and pondering on their messages. Some understanding and explaining of the life of a monk in the lessons they learn were lovely. A few ideas that are worth noting for me: Is in this context “I may be wrong” the same as “I might be wrong” (I suppose almost nobody uses might)What helps us respond to life as it unfolds? To live freely, stay humble and find comfort in difficult times? I may be wrong' is full of humility and grace, and his writing style is warm and engaging. The book is based on talks he has given, and you can tell from the conversational tone of the book. It's like he's sitting beside you. I often pass the ruins of a monastery when I’m out for a walk, and I wonder what it would have been like to live there four or five hundred years ago. Spending your days serving others and seeking your own spiritual salvation. I've sometimes wondered what it would be like to join a Buddhist monastery but the closest I ever got was going on a silent ten-day meditation retreat in an old boarding school in Kells, Co Meath. I enjoyed it, and it left me feeling renewed, but I didn't experience what I’d describe as a calling. Forest Monk If you're up for a deeper read on the development of Buddhist philosophy we can recommend The Open Road by Pico Iyer – if lighter ways to well-being are more your thing we heartily recommend the Bear of Very Little Brain (not least because Lindeblad also quotes him!) Try Winnie-the-Pooh's Little Book Of Wisdom by A A Milne and E H Shepard if you're not familiar with the stories.

We like to think we understand what's happening around us; that we can determine the path our life takes. But often, things don't go that way - in fact, they rarely do. Summary: A manual for living with uncertainty – told in simple everyday language through the perspective of a man who chose to live an extraordinary life, but recognises that most of us will stay closer to home and can nevertheless benefit massively from what he learned along the way.I May Be Wrong (but I Think You're Wonderful)" is a popular song. The music was written by Henry Sullivan, the lyrics by Harry Ruskin. The song was published in 1929 and it was included in the musical revue Murray Anderson's Almanac which ran for 69 performances at Erlanger's Theatre on Broadway in 1929. [1] It is said that the song was written on-demand for John Murray Anderson. I realise this book has been translated from Swedish, and a fine job they’ve done. But there’s one really clumsy simile in the book, when Björn is talking about his health problems and how he ‘fell asleep like a clubbed seal’. Goodness me, in a book about mindfulness, compassion, and the life of a forest monk, surely they could have found a better simile than that. In the Swedish sensation I May Be Wrong , former forest monk Bjurn Natthiko Lindeblad shares his advice on how to face the uncertainty and doubt that is a natural part of life. We don't choose our thoughts. We don't control the shape they take, or what pops into our minds. We can only choose whether or not to believe them. If you only read one philosophical book a year, read this one. It's simple. It's heart-warming and at times heart-breaking and those two things are intrinsically linked. It's thought provoking. And it's so quotable that if I started, I wouldn't know where to stop. So let me just summarise the core messages: Life-changing. This book is sensational.
