I May Be Wrong: The Sunday Times Bestseller

Product Information

The Sunday Times bestselling book of comfort and timeless wisdom from former forest monk, Björn Natthiko Lindeblad Is in this context “I may be wrong” the same as “I might be wrong” (I suppose almost nobody uses might) Doris Day with Harry James - included in the album Young Man with a Horn. Released on Columbia CL-6106 in 1950. Let me tell you what this audiobook is not. It's not about religion. It's not about telling you how to live your life. It's not about taking on a new set of beliefs. Plain and simple, it's about how to relate to your own thoughts and emotions in a way that makes your life more enjoyable, more free, brighter, clearer and wiser.

The Sunday Times bestselling book of comfort and timeless wisdom from former forest monk, Bj urn Natthiko Lindeblad If you're up for a deeper read on the development of Buddhist philosophy we can recommend The Open Road by Pico Iyer – if lighter ways to well-being are more your thing we heartily recommend the Bear of Very Little Brain (not least because Lindeblad also quotes him!) Try Winnie-the-Pooh's Little Book Of Wisdom by A A Milne and E H Shepard if you're not familiar with the stories. Is “I could be wrong” a common appropriate phrase? If yes, when I should use “I may be wrong” and “I could be wrong”. Philosophically, there is nothing new in here. The parables that Lindeblad quotes, mainly from the Buddhist tradition (as that was his training) are stories that many of us will have heard told countless times before in one variant or another. They are parables, the story can change, the song remains the same. Genuinely stays with you . . . Will encourage you to let go of the small stuff, accept the things you cannot control and open your heart and mind to a more happy and peaceful life' WOMAN & HOMEThe Sunday Times bestselling book of comfort and timeless wisdom from former forest monk, Bj örn Natthiko Lindeblad Infusing the everyday with heart, grace and gentle humour, this is a book to help us all navigate the realities of modern life. I often pass the ruins of a monastery when I’m out for a walk, and I wonder what it would have been like to live there four or five hundred years ago. Spending your days serving others and seeking your own spiritual salvation. I've sometimes wondered what it would be like to join a Buddhist monastery but the closest I ever got was going on a silent ten-day meditation retreat in an old boarding school in Kells, Co Meath. I enjoyed it, and it left me feeling renewed, but I didn't experience what I’d describe as a calling. Forest Monk I’ve often wondered what it’s like to get 'the call’ - the desire to drop everything and take up a spiritual vocation. I have a cousin who did get the call to be a priest when he had already finished training to be an accountant. At the time I thought it might have been nice if he’d been asked before all those years of studying, but I appreciate it doesn’t work like that. Life-changing. This book is sensational. If you're struggling, feeling a little lost, anxious or in need of a mental lift, please read it ' ELLA MILLS, FOUNDER OF DELICIOUSLY ELLA

We like to think we understand what's happening around us; that we can determine the path our life takes. But often, things don't go that way - in fact, they rarely do. Let me tell you what this book is not. It's not about religion. It's not about telling you how to live your life. It's not about taking on a new set of beliefs. Plain and simple, it's about how to relate to your own thoughts and emotions in a way that makes your life more enjoyable, more free, brighter, clearer and wiser. When the Dalai Lama adds his words to your frontispiece, I'm inclined to think it doesn't really matter how the rest of the world responds to your book. I know, having read the book in question, that Lindeblad would disagree with that thought. He knows (and at core so do I) that it matters very much how the rest of the world responds to this book, because it tells the truth as it is, in the early 21st century.

The next important thing is something else he throws at us up front, and I am going to quote it in full because I can speak to the fact that it utterly encapsulates why you should read this book.

This book really, really will stay with me forever. It's not only laced with the most incredible wisdom, but it's also gentle and beautiful and eloquent. It brought me so much joy and so much comfort' FEARNE COTTON His life post-monkhood is as extraordinary as anything that happens up to his taking his robes. And here I will refrain from telling you what happens next because it underlines exactly why the book and the precise way it is written makes it important.

And – the short version would go – he threw it all up and became a Buddhist monk. The fuller version shows us that it wasn't quite as easy as that. More importantly, that isn't where the story ends. I May Be Wrong (but I Think You're Wonderful)" is a popular song. The music was written by Henry Sullivan, the lyrics by Harry Ruskin. The song was published in 1929 and it was included in the musical revue Murray Anderson's Almanac which ran for 69 performances at Erlanger's Theatre on Broadway in 1929. [1] It is said that the song was written on-demand for John Murray Anderson.

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?
