The Enlightened Gardener By Sydney Banks

[KP the nut]

Beset by daily life's trials and tribulations, many people search for the elusive wisdom that will help them make sense of their journey and find inner peace. So, too, do the characters in this wonderful story by Sydney Banks. In this simple but profound tale, four colleagues meet a remarkable gardener whose unique philosophy will forever change their lives. That philosophy is equally powerful for the reader. The wisdom within these pages comes in the form of a straightforward message that is accessible to all who open their hearts to it.

I have read this book now and it certainly gives you food for thought.

Now looking forward to reading the second book, The Enlightened Gardener Revisited.

I've taken a break from reading this book. It is one I definitely want to read but I don't have the concentration level needed.

It is a bit heavy going KP, but well worth finishing.

Just started reading today =D Really looking forward to joining in on this book club, I am constantly looking for new things to read... it felt good walking into the book store having something to look for for once.

I felt the same way by reading the half book ... And I have to admit, that for me, it contains so many interwoven accents, that it left me feeling totally unable and overwhelmed by these concepts.

Of course I will give it another go. But I can clearly see a big difference; Before PTSD I loved the way of thinking this book offers. But now it makes me feel deeply desperate and helpless.
