This morning I finished reading The Opposite of Namaste and wrote this review for Goodreads. They have a nice feature enabling the review to also be posted on a blog.
The Opposite of Namaste by Timber HawkeyeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I'm a longtime fan of Timber Hawkeye, listening to his podcast and now completing this third book of wisdom. The "Opposite of Namaste" compiles short takes on living that inspire me to live aligned with positive values.
Each chapter is conversational, presenting ideas that are thought-provoking and often counter-intuitive: "Those who challenge us actually teach us more than those who agree with us." Or "Everything (and I mean EVERYTHING), becomes more enjoyable when we let go of the illusions we have about how the world 'should' be and how people 'should' behave."
While reading, I highlight inspiring passages, then review them at the end of each chapter to reinforce my retention. I find periodically sampling and reflecting on the passages in a chapter a helpful spiritual practice.
I recommend the book as a gift, particularly for young adults framing their worldviews.
