Among the books that made me take a break from reading, I think more about it and understand it deeply:)

Some beautiful parts of the book:
-All the negative events in life are inclusive, and every pain and suffering has a purpose. Pain and suffering teach us and guide us to higher levels of awareness.
The difficulties in life can give us an insight to free ourselves from the past that has dulled our excitement and kept us away from the core of our meaning.
Our highest goal is to learn from our experiences, grow, keep moving forward, and use our unique talents to be free to experience what we love.

-Oprah Winfrey said in her words: Turn your wounds into wisdom.
Instead of holding on to your pains, learn from them. See what benefits you have gained from these wounds? Where have they guided you? Now, who is there in your life that if you didn't have that bad experience, they wouldn't be in your life? How does holding on to your pains prevent your desires from being fulfilled?
When you use your wounds to grow and learn, you no longer need to remain a victim.
Look at the person who has hurt you and see what aspects of that person are connected to you. When you find those qualities in yourself, you will no longer be under the influence of that person and will no longer have a connection with them.

-Each of us must know that by doing the necessary things to light up the past and accept the pain and suffering, we discover the invaluable guidance.
If we allow it, the essence gives us more than what we imagine. Each of us has come to the world with a different message, and it is our responsibility to fulfill it.
With this perspective, we face the fact that all the events of our past have been opportunities for learning, growth, transformation, and exploration.
When we make peace with our past, the process of recovering our losses becomes much easier.

This book truly changed my life.

It had such a profound impact on me that I cannot help but recommend it to everyone.

The moment I picked it up, I was immediately drawn into its captivating world.

The author's writing style is engaging and the story is both thought-provoking and inspiring.

As I delved deeper into the pages, I found myself learning valuable lessons and gaining new perspectives.

It made me reflect on my own life and motivated me to make positive changes.

I believe that this book has the potential to do the same for you.

So, I urge you to give it a try.

You might be surprised at how much it can transform your life.

Don't miss out on this amazing opportunity.

Pick up this book today and embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth.

This book is based on the central idea of the shadow (the hidden dimensions of existence).

It delves deep into the concept, exploring the various aspects and manifestations of the shadow.

The author takes the reader on a journey through different realms of thought and perception, uncovering the mysteries and secrets that lie within the shadow.

By examining the shadow, we are able to gain a better understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

The book presents a unique perspective on existence, challenging our preconceived notions and inviting us to look beyond the surface.

It offers insights and revelations that can transform our lives and open our eyes to new possibilities.

With its engaging narrative and thought-provoking ideas, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in exploring the hidden depths of existence.

This self-help book focuses on the mechanism of overcompensation, which is a good topic.

However, it is full of repetitive explanations and is rather tedious.

The exercises in the book are suitable and practical.

The tone of the book, like many other spiritual, Hindi film, and mystery key works, was a big irritant to me.

Perhaps the author could have presented the content in a more concise and engaging way to hold the reader's attention better.

Despite its flaws, the book does offer some valuable insights into the concept of overcompensation.

With a bit of improvement in its writing style and organization, it could have been a more enjoyable and useful read.

Overall, it's an average self-help book that has its strengths and weaknesses.

Readers who are interested in the topic of overcompensation may still find some useful information here, but they will need to wade through the repetitive parts to get to the good stuff.

**My Book Experience**

I didn't believe in self-help books before. But when I read this book, I was really shocked.

I read this book line by line carefully and didn't skip a single sentence.

I also did all the exercises and really changed.

I, who used to resist change so much and was stuck with old and outdated ideas.

You can find the answer to everything (really everything) in this book.

In short, if I want to explain the concept of this book to you, I have to say that Debbie Ford believes that we have a dark part in our existence where some harmful traits live, and we always try to suppress this part. But this suppression makes these traits more and more prominent and affects our lives.

We should be honest with ourselves and see what things are in this dark part. For example, we are emotional, irritable, bad-tempered, negative, stupid.

These are gathered in this part and we try to suppress them, but does it have an effect? Does it make us no longer stupid, emotional, bad-tempered and negative?

No.

Debbie Ford says that we are not in the world, the world is in us. All the characteristics, both positive and negative, are in us. We should accept these negative characteristics and not try to suppress them completely. We should love them and see what blessings they bring for us.

Unlike those cheesy motivational books that only say to give positive energy and use emphatic expressions. Say "I am beautiful, I am not stupid, I am also very smart." Don't you think this will cause a contradiction?

Debbie Ford says that even stupidity is a blessing for you. Don't suppress your stupidity and accept it. This is also a trait and not just a bad trait unless it causes harm to your life.

Just as they say that there is a little darkness in the light and there is also light in the darkness. So nothing is just good or bad.

Now, she herself explains very well in the book and through various exercises, and you can completely understand, know yourself and heal yourself.

The repetition of the book is, in my opinion, after saying this point, that whatever in the world inspires you is an aspect of your own being. And as Mawlana said:

What exists in the world is not outside of you
Seek within yourself whatever you desire, for you are it

This emphasizes the importance of looking within ourselves. We often search for meaning and inspiration in the external world, but perhaps the answers lie within us. By exploring our inner selves, we can discover our true nature and the things that truly matter to us. This can lead to a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. It also reminds us that we have the power within us to create the life we desire. We don't have to rely on external circumstances to find happiness and fulfillment. Instead, we can look within and tap into our own inner resources.

If you have come to the conclusion that in the process of development, you must know yourself.

And in order to live more comfortably and have a more complete love for yourself, it is necessary to read.

Self-awareness is a crucial step in personal growth. It allows us to understand our strengths, weaknesses, values, and beliefs.

By knowing ourselves better, we can make more informed decisions, set more realistic goals, and build more fulfilling relationships.

Reading is an excellent way to gain self-knowledge. It exposes us to different perspectives, ideas, and experiences, which can help us to expand our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

Whether it's through self-help books, biographies, or works of fiction, reading can provide us with valuable insights and inspiration.

So, if you want to enhance your self-awareness and live a more fulfilling life, make reading a regular part of your routine.

The last chapter of the book was more interesting to me :).

I really enjoyed reading it. It had some unexpected twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. The author did a great job of building up the tension and then resolving it in a satisfying way.

I also liked the way the characters were developed in this chapter. We got to see more of their personalities and motivations, which made them seem more real and relatable.

Overall, the last chapter was a great conclusion to the book and left me feeling satisfied. I would definitely recommend this book to others who enjoy reading mystery or thriller novels.

Stretch out your hand and point at someone with your finger. You will see that one finger of yours is aware of that person, but the other three fingers have pointed at yourself!
This is a good reminder for us to know that whenever we accuse others, in fact we are denying that trait in ourselves...
It is an extremely excellent book that everyone should read. I highly recommend it to everyone ❤❤❤❤

This book attempts to ask us in the simplest possible form to make friends with the other half of our being; a half that if we embrace it instead of suppressing it, can cause a transformation in us.

As if it invites all of us to embrace the world within us and find the prophets from behind the darkness...

In addition, instead of judging others, if we put ourselves in their place, perhaps we can obtain a different understanding of what we thought and understand each other better... an inner and outer embrace.

"If you do not see yourself as a small universe in which all of existence resides, you will live as an individual separate from all of existence."

We should strive to break free from the limitations of our individual perspectives and open our hearts and minds to the vastness of the world within and around us. By doing so, we can experience a deeper connection with ourselves and others, and perhaps even discover the hidden prophets within us.

Let us embrace this invitation and embark on a journey of self-discovery and connection with the world.

It dawned on me that I had to be aware of certain characteristics in myself that caused me pain when I saw them in others.

These characteristics might include things like envy, jealousy, or judgment.

By being more conscious of them within myself, I could work on changing and improving.

It's not always easy to face our own flaws, but it's an important step in personal growth.

Instead of getting angry or hurt when we see these traits in others, we can use it as an opportunity for self-reflection.

Maybe we can learn from their mistakes or find ways to better manage our own emotions.

In the end, being more in tune with ourselves and our own characteristics can lead to healthier relationships and a more fulfilling life.

Some of its points were not bad for me, but actually there was nothing to learn. It repeated some obvious things that we all already knew.

This kind of content often fails to provide new and valuable insights. It just goes over the same ground again and again, which can be quite boring and unproductive.

In order to truly gain knowledge and grow, we need to explore new ideas, challenge our existing beliefs, and engage with content that pushes us out of our comfort zones.

Otherwise, we will just be stuck in a loop of repetition, not making any real progress.

It is important to be critical of the information we consume and to seek out sources that can offer us something fresh and meaningful.
