Book Review: How many books must Gawain write to get her own message
Summary: 1 Stars
Ms. Gawain offers insightful information about the importance of balance in one's life, but how many books does it take to deliver that message. Her work is largely redundant. Her obvious arrogance, which she touched upon in a recently updated edition of an earlier book, also wears thin. Contradictions in her work run rampant. It seems, too, running as an undercurrent through this book and her other work, that Ms. Gawain may be trying to work out her own "issues" about having made so much money, and her own life choices. On the one hand, she tells her reader that not everyone is destined to make money in this lifetime. That appears to be fine, according to the author. On the other hand, Gawain states, "There are many people in this world who are highly developed . . . [but] they often have a difficult time developing a successful career, earning money, or handling their finances appropriately. Often, their surroundings are chaotic, or they are somewhat spaced out, having trouble keeping agreements or appointments." If this applies to the reader, Gawain suggests maybe they believe that life on earth is a painful place where needs cannot be met. Many people in the world are extremely "successful" but do not have money. Many artists (writers, painters, musicians, dancers)I know would neatly fit into that "mismanaged affairs" catagory but they are nonetheless productive, creative and isn't it just a bit judgemental to assume they are not successful. If they are following their passion and the reward is in the making of art or dance or poetry, who is she to suggest they might not have achieved success. Many of Gawain's references suggest that money is the measure of achievement. Doesn't that contradict much of her writing which says that money is not a measure of prosperity and certainly doesn't lead us to the inner calm and balance we so desire? I think this woman needs guidance as much, if not more than her reader. While aspects of her work are helpful, the reader must be careful to pick the few delicious pieces of ripe fruit from the bushel basket and leave the abundance of spoil behind.
