READ IN ENGLISH

I received a copy for free via First Reads on GR

Unfortunately, it didn't work for me at all. I have to conclude this is not my kind of book. ( )

I received this book as part of a Goodreads Giveaway. I am still very thankful for being chosen, but unfortunately my review is not a positive one.

This book is about self-discovery, and a description of social organization. Eva tells us early on that she is including ideas that may seem uncomfortable to some, and not traditional. She includes her own experiences during her career and life time as a method of proving her points about her own personal point of view of the connections between people.

I didn't feel this book was written for me. I found it difficult to read through, and comprehend. The book was written well, but I found the spiritual aspects of the book distracting. Eva included information about her job before picking up writing full time and this also detracted from her point.

I'm sure this book would be phenomenal in the right hands, though. ( )

This book is another one I’ve read which is far different from the YA books I usually submerged myself into, even different from novels. So to anyone reading this review, this book is fiction and I’d based my review like on every other fiction book I’d read.

This is the personal views, thoughts, experiences, beliefs, insecurities, and actions of the author about self-discovery, and descriptions of social organization. But most of the topics are about self-respect and achieving personal happiness, which anyone could really get into.

The best thing I liked about this book is that it gives you priceless advices here and there which are lessons from life that the author experienced herself. I found myself realizing- “hey, that’s awfully right”. These are thoughts none of us would have given second thought, but it’s perfectly portrayed in this book.

I didn't feel this book was written for me though. This was too mature in a good way. But I found this easy to read through, and comprehend. The writing was well, even if there are some sentences which are stated awkwardly.

This book would be improved if the author wrote like she’s directly speaking to her readers. And avoid jumping into various topics. Her book has potential, it just needs a little editing I guess.

Meandering Mind is a thought-provoking and enlightening book that I would recommend to anyone who feels unsure of themselves and needs someone to talk to with their struggles. Or those who deal with people. :) ( )

I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway even though it isn't the type of book I normally read.

I found this a difficult book to read. I wasn't particularly interested in it, even as I went through it and some of the writing/grammar was awkward to read. It felt more like reading a transcript of one person talking to someone else, as opposed to the self-help book it is.

It seems to lean towards those looking for personal self-discovery, and self-discovery in their career as well. I didn't connect with the organization and felt that it was kind of jumping around to various topics and then repeating the same thing that was said in the beginning of the book at the end again.

Furthermore, I simply don't agree with some of the premises the author presents in this book. I love her idea of trying to get people to be more open-minded and consider new ideas that they may not have thought through before, but she seemed to be suggesting that everything is just personal and relative.

Overall, it just wasn't for me, although I'm not sure I was the type of person the book was written for. I'm going to pass this along through donation though, in hopes that someone else can gain something from this. ( )
