Review: The Manual of the Warrior of Light

The Manual of the Warrior of Light by Paulo Coelho
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Re-read 07/19:

I love this book. It's the perfect little book to flick through when you need inspiration. You gotta have an open mind and some of the interpretations can be a little strange but if you are looking for inspiration this is a great place to start.

It's a gentle reminder to trust your own morals and instincts and pay attention to the world around you.

Love it.

Original Review:

Great little guide for the spiritually-minded, this is simply written yet profound. Taken literally it will seem bizarre and possibly boring, but take the time to reflect on the meaning of these passages and you will be rewarded with some important life lessons.

This collection needs to be read slowly and ruminated upon, otherwise it's a wasted read. Its strength lies in its simplicity; the passages are easy to read and enjoyable individually, so that one might enjoy them out of order. As the title suggests, this is very much for the warriors of light - those of us trying to live a more fulfilling life of mindfulness and appreciation, those on the spiritual path, those seeking to learn more about themselves and so grow. For those not yet on such a path, this will prove to be a dull, meaningless read. For the former, though, I highly recommend.
