Book Reviews of I And Thou
Book Review: Deep insight from profound intellect and enormous caring.
Summary: 5 Stars
Martin Buber offers a deeply integrative philisophical perspective only paralleled in Taoism, and this book explains in increditle detail the nature and implication of what arguably is the true meaning of the revelations left by every known enlightened being. In developing as an individual in the Western world, there is no substitute for reading and fully grasping this book. It is a map for the territory of life, nuanced and incredibly subtle; deeply human, warm and loving, but never easy.
Read this book and be forever changed.
Book Review: The Book That Taught Me How to Love
Summary: 5 Stars
Before I read "I and Thou" I was one person. After I read it, I was another.
I can't think of any other book that has changed my life in so drastic a way.
One actually only need read the first chapter to have their lives irrevocably altered, but I would suggest reading the entire work.
That will fill out the picture in greater detail.
Read this one slowly. Let every word and phrase enter you and transform you.
It is for you (or thou) that this book was written. And reading it, you will gain a you. Because you will learn how to say "you" (as in 'I love you') and actually mean "you".
Too often, Buber teaches, when we say "you", we really mean "he" or "she", which is really no more than an "it".
This "it-world" diminishes all involved. By shifting from an experiencing I-It world to a relating I-You world. . .we open the opportunity for a relationship beyond time and space.
What some people call Love.
Read it and learn to love. It's that simple.
