I have only read a sample of on Amazon and I have liked what I have read so far. The line drawings pique my interest. I thought it was a book similar to The Law of Attraction books and I believe I am right. This review has only cemented my belief that Philosophy from the Mud is worth reading

"Philosophy from the Mud" is a self-help book that explores the Theory of Masterful Effortless, a combination of fiction and non-fiction. The book aims to help readers understand the five laws of Effortless Theory and apply them to live an abundant and carefree life. The five principles include co-creating one's life, the universe being judgement-free, abundance knowing no bounds, and the universe honoring bravery.

The book focuses on three primary areas: words, feelings, and actions. The non-fiction portion is filled with quotations from well-known figures, causing readers to reflect on the book's deeper meaning. The cover may not reflect the book's purpose as a self-help book, but the fables occasionally make the reader laugh and think about their deeper meaning.

The author's message is accurate, as pessimistic views about one's ability to accomplish a goal may diminish success chances. The book may explain why people seem to achieve or be bestowed with amazing things, as it may be due to Effortless Theory. The fables in the book have deeper meanings, and the non-fiction portion is excellent, and the book is rated 5 out of 5 stars.

The book is suitable for anyone who wants something to happen in their life but is unable to commit to it. The author accommodates all religions and beliefs by substituting the word "universe" for their belief. Overall, "Philosophy from the Mud" is a valuable self-help book that can improve a person's outlook on life and help others achieve their goals.

The review is much appreciated. It is true that we need to have positive feelings about our goals and only then they will materialise. Would love to read the fables part included in the book to make it more meaningful.

This book blends fiction and non-fiction seamlessly. The Theory of Masterful Effortless is intriguing, though the focus on fables seems prominent. Still, the non-fiction content captivated me, offering valuable insights for living abundantly. The cover could better reflect its self-help nature, but overall, it is a worthwhile read.

Thanks for the honest detailed review.

Congratulation on being BOTD! :dance:

Fables are an efficient way to convey a message. You're right; I've often wondered how everything seems to go smoothly for bad people. I hope the author listens to your comments about the cover because, like it or not, it's the first interaction of readers with the book. Thank you for your analytical review.
