The Meditations

review 1: I like this discussion of the role that our choices, our decisions, make in the outcome of our lives. The author draws from his own experiences, particularly the setbacks (of which there were several, seemingly insurmountable ones), and details how the choices he made at those times helped him move forward into the life he wanted to have.I particularly appreciated his thoughts on the fact that your later choices can have the effect of "redeeming" your earlier choices, and that the things you're doing now can add value to what you've done in the past. It's an interesting consideration -- that my future choices may actually make my past choices more valuable, etc. -- and something that I hadn't considered in that light, before.A short read! Definitely inspirational and a goo... mored thing to read to get you out of the funk of not believing in yourself.
review 2: Most of the books I read lately are either fiction or of the textbook variety, so you can imagine my surprise to come across an opportunity to review something fresh and new. Drawing Out the Dragons is an intriguing biography of sorts that inspires. It has quotes from many world figures and pieces of the author's journey to become the writer he is today. I kept putting myself in the author's shoes and thinking how I just need to hang on a bit longer for the right stuff to come along. Owen does not paint a perfect picture, but he does show us the power of perseverance and setting goals you work hard to achieve. I came away from reading his life sketch rejuvenated. I hope you will give Drawing Out the Dragons a read. It will surprise and delight you. less
