I May Be Wrong: And Other Wisdoms From Life As A Forest Monk

Description

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. 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.At the age of twenty-six, Bjurn Natthiko Lindeblad abandoned a promising career, gave away all his possessions, and left his loved ones to become a forest monk. For seventeen years he lived according to the rules of the monastery. After returning to Swedish society, he was met with the diagnosis of a progressive, incurable disease- ALS.In I May Be Wrong, he shares his hard-won insights into how one can live a more present life, and what stands out as most important when things are coming to an end. The result is a beautiful, powerful and urgent last lesson on how we can live more peacefully with ourselves, and come to accept the uncertainty that is a part of all we do.'With our potential to maintain a peaceful state of mind, it is possible to remain optimistic in the face of difficulties. Bjurn Natthiko Lindeblad, a former forest monk in Thailand, relates his experience of training to properly direct his thoughts which can benefit all' His Holiness the Dalai Lama
