Through His Eyes: Rethinking What You Believe About Yourself (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
I like that she didn't tell me what to believe. However, I'm not at a spot right now where I feel like I need to do any major introspection. (I'm sure there are some others that doubt this. :) ) I was reminded a lot of the story of the man that asked his wife why she cut off both ends of her ham. She replied, "That's how my Mom does it."When he asked his Mother-in-law why she cut off the ends of her ham, she replied, "That's the way MY Mom did it."When he got a chance to ask his wife's Grandma about it, she replied, "Because that's the only way it would fit in the pan."I'm sure I have some of those same beliefs as well.It's going to be a hard book club book, just because it would be so personal, some of the stuff to talk about. We'll see! This book is about uncluttering your mind, or in other words, examining your beliefs and discarding the ones that are untrue. Sometimes we hold opposing beliefs and if we really think about it, we can't (or shouldn't) believe them both. Sometimes we allow ourselves to be guided by beliefs that may be true, but are not eternal truths, so we end up getting in our own way.I found it to be very thought-provoking. I have an ongoing belief list that I can examine for the purposes of truth-seeking. I now feel myself to be an "inquirer after truth," and find myself thinking about it all the time.Highly recommended.

A great book that requires a lot of self reflection. I'm still thinking about it, weeks later.
