I May Be Wrong: The Sunday Times Bestseller

Product Information

From former forest monk Björn Natthiko Lindeblad, I May Be Wrong was a Swedish sensation. It is a book of timeless wisdom about how to handle the uncertainty that is a natural part of life. I often pass the ruins of a monastery when I’m out for a walk, and I wonder what it would have been like to live there four or five hundred years ago. Spending your days serving others and seeking your own spiritual salvation. I've sometimes wondered what it would be like to join a Buddhist monastery but the closest I ever got was going on a silent ten-day meditation retreat in an old boarding school in Kells, Co Meath. I enjoyed it, and it left me feeling renewed, but I didn't experience what I’d describe as a calling. Forest Monk I was never promised a long life. We, humans, are like leaves on trees in that respect. Most leaves hold on until they're withered and brown. But some fall while they’re still green.’ The Mills Brothers - included in the album Count Basie & The Mills Brothers – The Board Of Directors (1967). [15]

The Sunday Times bestselling book of comfort and timeless wisdom from former forest monk, Bjoern Natthiko Lindeblad

What helps us to live freely? How can we find comfort in difficult times? Is there a way to stay humble in the heat of the moment? And what stands out as most important when things are coming to an end?

Doris Day with Harry James - included in the album Young Man with a Horn. Released on Columbia CL-6106 in 1950. Philosophically, there is nothing new in here. The parables that Lindeblad quotes, mainly from the Buddhist tradition (as that was his training) are stories that many of us will have heard told countless times before in one variant or another. They are parables, the story can change, the song remains the same.

Featured Reviews

Let me tell you what this book is not. It's not about religion. It's not about telling you how to live your life. It's not about taking on a new set of beliefs. Infusing the everyday with heart, grace and gentle humour, this is a book to help us all navigate the realities of modern life. Plain and simple, it's about how to relate to your own thoughts and emotions in a way that makes your life more enjoyable, more free, brighter, clearer, and wiser. Life-changing. This book is sensational. If you're struggling, feeling a little lost, anxious or in need of a mental lift, please read it ' ELLA MILLS, FOUNDER OF DELICIOUSLY ELLA
