Life is a Metaphor: Metaphors, Stories and Musings for the Heart

Oh I do love this book! The pace of it is beautiful, profound yet simplistic and could easily touch the interest of any one of us.I’m keeping this one in my library as borrowed from Kindle Unlimited..thank you 🙏

Dr Pransky has been described as the greatest psychological mind of our time! He is the master of metaphors. Every metaphor points to a spiritual truth or fact to help us understand the fundamental nature of the mind. The more we understand how our minds work, the more we can realise, and therefore benefit from, the fact of ‘innate health’ - a natural, inbuilt state of health, happiness and resilience that exists for every human being. Each of these beautifully crafted metaphors point us to the fact that mental health is our birthright, because it’s innate. Savour every metaphor and reap the insightful rewards!

Full disclosure. I’ve done some practitioner training with Pransky and Associates. Also full disclosure, they combine real insight into what makes every human being both wonderfully individual and universally the same, in an ordinary, common sense way. This book points to something coomon to all humanity.The stories and metaphors here are wonderfully rich if you look at what they’re pointing towards. You might miss it, and think it’s simplistic without a willingness to have an open mind, and consider how it explains all human experience as well as your own.Metaphor is a way of pointing at a new way of looking, a new context in which we experience life. The invisible formless force that allows us to be aware of being aware. There’s some lovely metaphors for coaches, therapists or anyone looking into their inner world.

I'm an avid reader. Most of my life a fiction reader. I read(skimmed) through many so called self help literature. I find the best most interesting/helpful reading is short and concise. Basic. Concise. Insightful.

I had the good fortune of being on a webinar with the author. When I heard that he had this book, I knew I had to have it. These metaphors are so valuable for understanding and relating to the principles and how life works.

I would recommend specially two chapters - ' Filming ' and ' Documentary ' for spiritual personality development ! 👌👌

First time it's happening to me : that book is "non compatible with this device", my brand new Kindle Paperwhite... Amazon, what's wrong ?? (Works on Kindle for iOs and MacOs though)

Life is a Metaphor holds some profound insights into the nature of consciousness and the workings of our minds. I've read these stories and metaphors several times now and each time I realize something new about how our mind works. Take some time to think about what these seemingly simple stories are telling you and you'll be rewarded by a deeper understanding of mind, thought and consciousness and how you can apply these insights in you life. I highly recommend this book.
