Outwitting The Devil: The Secret To Freedom And Success (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
Despite being written almost 80 years ago, the world problems signaled throughout the book are incredibly timely - from the aimless, futile education system, to the parents inculcating fear upon their children, to the church which builds its entire argument around the fear of Evil, to the power of the so-called hypnotic rhythm and many, many other things like this. Leaving aside the imaginary conversation with the devil (which may be found offending by some readers), this book summarizes perfectly all the things that lead people to abandon their way and stray, losing themselves in worldly pleasures of all sorts. Moreover, it highlights the best practices to avoid these deviations (through self control, self discipline, definiteness of purpose, caution), presenting them in a very clear and easy-to-understand language.I really liked the kind of information it contains and the approach, and I have already taken note of certain aspect of my life which required a good deal of improvement. I highly recommend it to anyone willing to think for themselves. Very Interesting book...it gets you thinking about how you can make changes to be better at life and not drift like most of us do. The format is a little weird...I listened to the book on audiobook and I wish I could have just skipped the editor who just came on an restated the same information you just heard but as a question. It was pretty annoying...and probably the only reason I'd give this book 4 stars.
