Summary
The lesson that can be learnt from this book is simple. In order to have a balanced and calm life, we must embrace peace with ourselves first. This book shares tips on how to manage emotions and thoughts, knowing yourself better, and how to act accordingly in any given situation. My two favourite quotes from the book include “the way to freedom is not to be too concerned about things we don’t control” and “a life of excess only leads to more excess”.
