The Six Principles Of Enlightenment And Meaning Of Life - Russell Anthony Gibbs Review

Share
(Book Cover Source: Goodreads)
Hello Readers...

First I would like to thank and express my sincere gratitude to the author of this book "Russell Anthony Gibbs" for providing a copy of this book for the review.

Today while travelling, I started reading this book keeping in mind this book is based upon spirituality and was of the view that it was just like any other spirituality books available out there. But when I completed it, this book completely changed my perception. I would like to start the review with one of my favorite quote from Buddha.

"No one can save us but ourselves.
No one can and no one may.
We ourselves must walk the path."

Those of you who actually want to change themselves and live a good life, here is a brief synopsis of the book for such people:

"All enlightened beings, most founders of religion and many renowned scientists knew and understood the six principles of enlightenment. These universal truths have been written about, taught and discussed for thousands of years and yet remains shrouded in mystery and misinterpretations. This book seeks to remove that shroud.

The Six Principles of Enlightenment And Meaning of Life is an intellectual and spiritual work  that explains the six significant universal truths woven throughout science, religion and philosophy. These principles draw upon thousands of years of wisdom and are presented in concise, accessible format. Each principle is defined and has an explanation of its application to life; they are further supported by quotes of wisdom from enlightened beings, philosophers, artists and scientists like Buddha, Albert Einstein, Rumi, Stephen Hawking and Jesus. Understanding the six principles then unlocks the meaning of life which is explained in the final chapter."

The best thing about the book which I really liked is that this book is just 51 pages long. Russell Anthony Gibbs has done an immensely great job in keeping this book so short yet describing all the key things which each and everyone of us must know for being enlighten. Though this book is short, one must truly read and grasp the true essence of this book.

I really liked the concept where Russell Anthony Gibbs has divided each chapter in three sections wherein the first section explains what each principle is, second section explains how to implement that principle in our day to day life and the last section lists out the quotes of wisdom from enlightened beings from different background of life.

Also unlike many other books which focuses on the religious aspects of spirituality, this book strikes a balance between the religious preaching as well as scientific teaching while explaining the vital concepts of spirituality. Russell Anthony Gibbs has kept the language simple which can be easily understood by many, i.e people belonging to all the three X,Y & Z generation.  All the content is being kept short, precise and to the point. I must say, this is the first spiritual book with which I can completely agree. Also I would like to mention, this book just won the  2016 Pinnacle Book Achievement Award for Best Spiritual Self-help book.

So to sum up, this is one great book which everyone should read and I will definitely keep this book in my shelf as a guide to the path of enlightenment. This book caters to both thiest and athiest demographic. I will surely recommend this book to anyone who wants to seek knowledge about spirituality and enlightenment. So if asked to rate it, I will give this book 5 stars out of 5. Grab your copy of this book from Amazon today itself. Here is a direct link to the Amazon for the same:
