Utterly fascinating!
Reviewed: 11-12-19
The book stretches one's imagination in a manner that is utterly fascinating and scarily believable at the same time. The unique lens of imagining the psycho-social impact of technology makes for a gripping read (or listen - I heard this on Audible). And very importantly, the book leaves us with a lot of important questions to consider as we live our tech-enabled lives. A must-read for the times we live in.

Story
A revolutionary system to get one per cent better every day. People think when you want to change your life, you need to think big. But world-renowned habits expert James Clear has discovered another way. He knows that real change comes from the compound effect of hundreds of small decisions – doing two push-ups a day, waking up five minutes early, or holding a single short phone call. He calls them atomic habits.

Every time we experience negativity in the world and within ourselves, every time we encounter jealousy, rage and frustration, manifesting as violation and violence, we hear or read the Hanuman Chalisa. Composed over 400 years ago by Tulsidas, its simple words in Awadhi, a dialect of Hindi, and its simple metre musically and very potently evoke the mythology, history and mystery of Hanuman, the much-loved Hindu deity through whom Vedic wisdom reached the masses.

refreshing reinterpretation
Reviewed: 29-04-19
While the content of the book is based on the old text of Hanuman Chalisa, it has been beautifully reinterpreted, in a fairly objective, philosophical manner to make it relevant to regards. It does not expect one to be religious even spiritual to connect with the learnings from the book.

The start and the end of the book are timeless wisdom that can be adapted to our lives, the middle is rather irrelevant in today's context.

In Sitting by the Well, this acclaimed Jungian analyst and author uses dreams, symbols, and body imagery to reach into the shadows of the unconscious mind and cast light on our everyday lives. Here is a poetic culmination of Woodman's many years of work with the psychological impact of patriarchy on men's and women's lives - from distorted body image and addiction to sexual trauma and relationships to our ultimate connection with the Great Mother (matter) and Great Father (spirit).
