Started young dumb and broke. Finished the book young rich and happy

If I had to encapsulate the book into one word it word it should be “Maktub”. You’ll understand what I mean once you open this beauty of a book. Take this as an omen to travel into the unknown that awaits you.

A magical book that must be read at least once in a lifetime. And to those whom have read it, a favorite repeat read! Every time you read it, at different stages of your journey and life, a different lesson comes through that touches the heart and brightens your path.

I had high hopes for this one as I had seen it on the reading lists of presidents and scholars. I’ll say this, it was a rapid read. The language, syntax, concepts were all so rudimentary that I hit the back cover before I knew it. There really are only a couple of “life lessons” to be gained by the text that the author hammers home many times over. In the end, there just wasn’t much here. A simple story of a simple man learning a simple lesson. This book would’ve been better in the form of an aspirational work poster.

Learned a lot from this book!

Words that will change you’re perspective and a voice that will change your thinking!

Very philosophical I’m not into the philosophy side but okay read

This book was recommended to me by a few people and I dreaded it due to the bad reviews I’ve read. Then something in me said “Just Read It” (plus I saw it for $2.99) and I did… this was a great read and I’m shocked people had such negative reviews. I should’ve read this sooner!!!

I really enjoyed this book. When I started reading, it came about from a place of boredom, but I left feeling much more. This story focuses on the uncertainty of life, and how to embrace this to realize our dreams. I am currently at a point where everything is uncertain, and it gave me hope to continue, to take chances, and to find what it is I want to do in this world. It was an amazing read, I definitely recommend.

I absolutely love this book!
