"Life Was Never Meant to Be a Struggle"

Rating:
Summary: AWESOME
Review: At the risk of sounding like a commercial, this booklet is a genuine bargain, so do yourself a favor by including it on your next order from Amazon. Unlike a lot of other writers, Stuart Wilde is terse. He certainly doesn't waste words in advancing his assertion that effort in life is natural, but struggle is stupid. He quickly identifies the major strugglers we all see around us and tells how to cease struggling by eliminating negative emotions.

Review: This is the second of Wilde's books that I have read. In The Quickening I thought that it was odd that the author would say on the one hand how unfair society was, yet later on, would state that the world was exactly as it should be and that you should not try to change it. O.K. I thought, perhaps he meant this in terms of this world being a testing ground for free will, where we refine our soul through suffering and struggling against injustice. However, this book makes it clear that the author totally rejects any benefit through trial and suffering. He emphasizes that the system is unfair, but that as a "superior spiritual person" you should wholeheartedly join in and get all that you can. He says that the weak and "whimps" get what they deserve, and that one shouldn't hesitate to use and discard them. As for Wilde's concept of flow, it appears to be little more than a callous attitude of "no problems, no worries- as long as I get mine." Wilde seems to offer nothing but a watered down version of old-fashion theosophy tailored to the business-minded sociopath who wants to feel better about himself. I should have known there was something seriously wrong here when the man expressed deep admiration for Genghis Khan....
