[Book Review] Ungraduated, [Author] Ken Hannaman



How would you describe your life? Are you in control or do you simply follow outdated beliefs, imposed by others? Author Ken Hannaman presents a book that is meant to help you change your life for the better. Thanks to his words of wisdom, you will be able to see how much you are manipulated for others, finding the strength to make a serious change. Even though this sounds scary, I am sure that this book will guide you in the right direction.


My opinion:


This was an excellent read! The author tells things they are, highlighting the fact that we are conditioned by other people, unwantedly borrowing thought and behavioral patterns. We live according to external belief systems, which rarely fit our own structure. Thus, it should come as no surprise that we are unhappy, feeling confused and powerless. I loved how the author encourages his readers to decide if this is the life they want to live. Backed by personal experiences, he nudges readers to finally see life through their own lenses, embracing this new chapter with all their might.


We do live in the age of motivational books, and I often find such books to be repetitive and redundant. The thing I appreciated the most about this book was that the author used his own experience to guide his readers through the change process. I thought the “ungraduated” concept is pretty cool, with the author making a lot of effort to show how outdated belief systems actually hold us back. We all want to live a life that has purpose, with happiness and success. The question is: how much do we allow these limiting beliefs to influence us?


Traveling from his childhood to adulthood, the author shares his perspective on life and how things should be. He explains a step-by-step approach to changing beliefs and embracing a new mindset. More than once, he invites the reader to express himself/herself, asking questions and using actual life examples. The goals? Self-discovery. True awakening. Discovering new perspectives on life. He believes that we should spend our entire lives learning and I couldn’t agree more. I am thankful for books like this, as they teach me that nothing can go as I desire, as I long as I have a fixed mindset. It offers actionable steps for a better life, unleashing a whole world filled with possibilities before our very eyes.


Verdict:


This was an excellent read, with heaps of useful advice and a unique approach to transforming your mindset! The author shares his own experiences and offers examples on how we can become free of outdated beliefs, embracing our own perspective on life. If you have been searching for your meaning in life or you’re feeling stuck, not knowing how to change, I am sure this book will be of tremendous help. Highly recommended!
