I loved this book. I cried, I contemplated the meaning of life, the constructs we are forced to bear and absorb. I cannot wait to read it again, and again during different periods in my life. I think I’ll get something unique each time.I don’t think this book is for everyone. I agree it’s a bit difficult to ascertain the intended meaning of it from the first few chapters. But I realized that’s intentional and needed to step outside of yourself and interpret the world differently. I read the reviews and some say Kingsley is pretentious and thinks too highly of himself. I think me 5 years ago would have said the same, and think this isn’t a beginners read. He reworks the normal order of sentences, I found myself re-reading paragraphs, when understanding, going back to previous chapters. It’s a journey and meant to be absorbed, not read. I found it deeply impactful and brought me to a better understanding of how I can navigate the world.
