Appreciation to the amount of effort making lovely illustrations.

How dangerous he is working with his barehands

I totally agree. It’s just so hard to swallow. Maybe it’s better to those who have recovered and looking for a new way of life. But I wouldn’t recommend this to those who are in the middle of a disaster. Kinder words might be better

I don’t think he is propagating a cult as he clearly opposed and rebuked it in his videos.

I came to some what of a conclusion of my own that he, being an experienced clinical psychologist and a person who’s been through numerous ordeals, is hard not to become a realist himself.

Discrediting his whole because of his parts is not doing him justice, and even more polarising.

Is he still teaching in the U of T? I will be great to see someone who is willing to play the bad guy in a world that likes to appease instead of appeal.

I am living in a city that’s totalitarian and I understand the horrors of being silenced. Polarisation is the first thing a totalitarian state will propagate, please don’t let this happen in Canada :(

Yeah I agree with you.

I like his YouTube videos a lot and that’s why I bought the book.

I totally concur with the idea to pick up responsibility and live a purpose driven life, but seeing how harsh he is on those who are going through depression and addictions—-it’s not like those people do not know what they are doing is detrimental to themselves or their families, but it’s kind of a way to avoid the truth JBP told——that life is suffering. So to me by telling people what they’ve already known too well isn’t really a way to give impetus for improvement

I am not against him, and I don’t think we need more polarisation(which is sad to hear this from your comment), but I really think he could do better with his delivery in the book.

It’s funny since it was his videos that led me to his book. Some of his commentaries are quite insightful, and they do give structure to life in general.

However, reading his book is another thing. I could kinda tell that he is very sincere on his viewpoint and that he truly is hoping the best for the whole world, but he does so in a military way of preaching, which is so hard to swallow and discouraging to read.

Thanks for the recommendation and yes I have seen it.

Definitely left a mark on me.

Especially the scene where the boy mindlessly shot hitlers portrait to bring back time… only to find hitler was once also a little innocent boy….that scene just messed with me, so dreadful yet so much empathy there.

I also like the pianist by Darien broody very much. Have you watched that?

I don’t like the score, kinda unmatched with the vintage looking cinematography.

However this is not a movie, but a daunting, excruciating and exhausting experience.

The sheer catastrophic audio and visual bombardment is just stunning.

This is the best war movie I ever feared while watching.

Even the landing scene in saving private Ryan got me a bit of adrenaline pang despite its gore, but this one… this was not enjoyable, almost disgusting, which is good, because it truly showed me the brutality of war.
