Ingmar Bergman (vars Laterna magica jag läste samtidigt) och Björn Natthiko Lindeblad borde korsbefruktas. Takes you on a journey that comes across initially as rich kid goes monk. It feels pretentious and little bit contrived at first but gradually begins to take you on a journey you never expected and leaves you realising this book was written as a gift to us all. What helps us to live freely? How can we find comfort in difficult times? Is there a way to stay humble in the heat of the moment? And what stands out as most important when things are coming to an end?

I öst kan man använda ”det känns inte bra” som ett färdigt argument, vilket skulle leda till följdfrågor i väst, menar han. If yes, when I should use “I may be wrong” and “I could be wrong”. 'May' suggests more real doubt on behalf of the speaker. 'Could' suggests less real doubt, more mere politeness. Having said that, both of these expressions can convey these two qualities, and there is not a large difference. Much depends on tone of voice and othe matters of context. A very interesting story about a Swedish economist who decides to become a forest monk in Thailand.

The Sunday Times bestselling book of comfort and timeless wisdom from former forest monk, Björn Natthiko Lindeblad

In the Swedish sensation I May Be Wrong , former forest monk Bjurn Natthiko Lindeblad shares his advice on how to face the uncertainty and doubt that is a natural part of life. We don't choose our thoughts. We don't control the shape they take, or what pops into our minds. We can only choose whether or not to believe them. Izņemot melnbaltos vākos ieskauto grāmatu no plaukta, zemē nokrīt pastkarte ar ierakstu "Ja tu lasi šo, mans laiks ir beidzies."... Tas viss liekas tik sirreāli, gluži kā aizkapa vēstījums no paša autora. Tik savādi apzināties, ka persona, kuras grāmatu es turu rokās, ir izvēlējusies aiziet no dzīves. Jā, daudzi autori ir viņsaulē, bet reti kurš iepriekš lasītājam atstāj ziņu. Kad no bibliotēkas paņemtā grāmata ir pilna ar līmlapiņām, tad pašai vajadzēja nopirkt savu eksemplāru, lai atzīmētu neskaitāmās pērles. Par dzīvi, paļāvību un beigām. Laimīgu un nedaudz apjukušu. In ‘I may be wrong’ Björn Natthiko Lindeblad does exactly that. After working as an economist, he gives up his promising career to spend 17 years as a forest monk in Thailand and in this book shares what he has learnt in that time. There’s plenty of humour in the initial stages as he talks about the problems he faces as a monk - he doesn’t take himself too seriously.The title itself is based on a talk given by one of his teachers when he told the class he was going to give them a mantra. He said the next time you felt an argument starting, or a conflict brewing, repeat to yourself three times the magic words: He didn’t sugarcoat his own struggles in becoming a forest monk, no. When he told the readers his struggles of meditating and understanding different walks of lives that he has encountered, I thought that it was very well explained and explored. Atteikties no civilizētās sabiedrības priekšrocībām un izpriecām meža klosterī , kur visapkārt mutuļo līdzīgi domājoši prāti, ir viens. Pavisam kas cits- noturēt šo mediatīvo domu pārspēku parastā sabiedrībā ikdienā. Ne velti, nolemjot atgriezties Zviedrijā, bijušais mūks iestrēga dziļā depresijā.
