mabookyard 's review for:
The Heartfulness Way: Heart-Based Meditations for Spiritual Transformation
by Joshua Pollock, Varun Soni, Kamlesh D. Patel
My Rating : 4
"A religious teaching may be true, but it matters little unless you have realized that truth for yourself. You see, It is not enough for a teaching to be true. It must be true for you"

This book deals with the essence of Heartfulness approach to meditation and its transformative potential over a person if understood & done right
.
The first thing I loved about the book was the mini story-type prologue given at the start explaining how the concept came into life, and how it is going to progress. That really gave an insight about what to expect from the later part.
.
The second thing I loved was the way it was written. Though being a non-fiction, it was not textbook type explanations of all the questions. It is a collection of interactive conversations with Daaji and how he views everything. It also helps us understand the concepts of Heartfulness ways, how to achieve it, in a really simple and easy to understand way.
.
In this fast pacing modern world, there are a lot of things that affects our mental health and our thought process. The way everything was explained was really connecting, and I learnt a lot about how not to approach , rather than how to. Lot of insights on the lifestyle to follow, with a lot of diversity, it was really a very good experience and an eye-opener! This connected to me on a very personal level, and I really do hope it will help a lot of young people out there to start taking care of themselves instead of the materialistic things in their life.
.
The only thing I didn't like about the book was it was slightly over explained. It's not a bad thing! Some people might take a long time to understand all these new concepts, but personally I would have enjoyed the book even more if it was a little crisp and to the point since I was already familiar with the concepts of meditation. This book was in no means boring, and I loved reading a mind-clearing non fiction book that deals with a lot of real life struggles.
.
If you are someone struggling with stress, anxiety, or just having a bad day, try giving this book a shot! You might end up being a totally different person with a brand new taken on life!
