review 1: I’ve never been enamored with self-help books, self-help speakers or other such supportive paraphernalia but somehow I ended up with this book. Okay, I thought it was a novel and it had a slick dust jacket with a hiker on the cover and I was in a hurry, so I bought it. It claims to be “a novel that will guide you on a journey of self-discovery”. It may be fiction but it’s not a novel---unless you consider a string of incidents held together by a story, as full of holes as a piece of Swiss cheese, a novel. A man who has lost his child in an auto accident sets out to heal himself through a journey of self-discovery and in the process, mysteriously meets a series of people that set him back on life’s true path. The main character is created from paper mache and... more the everyday philosophers he meets along the way are cardboard cutouts but they all have the answers. If only we all had the luxury to solve life problems in such a conclusive, insightful and healthy manner. I won’t completely pan the book. The story could have been the basis for a good novel in the hands of a talented writer and I do wish them luck selling the affiliated DVD, which I’m sure is what this book is really all about.
review 2: From the inside cover...The Compass ia a metaphor for the journey of our lives. In the tradition of The Alchemist, The Compass provides you with specific life lessons about authenticity, self-impowerment, and believing in your dreams. As humans we are all connected - by love, pain, and sometimes even by tragedies or events we cannot control. Each one of us travels a unique path, yet are linked by experiences and emotions. In this connectiveness, there is life. This book is a novel, with a powerful story and message within. I really enjoyed this book, and would recommend it to everyone...because no matter who you are or what your life is...a message is there for you. less
