Absolutely loved this book. Easy to read and fast paced. The plot was exciting and suspenseful. Infact it was so suspenseful it kept me guessing till the end of the book. It's an absolute page turner and I was hooked throughout.

Most exciting suspense thriller of 2019 for me.

"It's a little unnatural, I know, to feel gratitude for things we never wanted to happen in the first place. But we know, at this point, the opportunities and benefits that lie within adversities. We know that in overcoming them, we emerge stronger, sharper, empowered." What a great book by Ryan Holiday. I read this in January 2020 and absolutely loved it. I felt like I needed to read this book. Here the author talks about three disciplines that we need to practice and develop inorder to overcome any obstacles in life. 1.

But when she realised she was still stuck in the cycle of consumerism, she finally decided to address the real problem - her impulsive spendings. The idea of a year-long shopping ban was thus born to push her into becoming a mindful consumer. She took inventory and decluttered all the things that wasn't adding value to her life. She also started a blog to keep accountability.⁣ ⁣ Easier said than done. Such big challenge comes with even bigger struggles.

The hardest of this was confronting the triggers and urges because our bad habits are never completely gone. They're "lurking b

"To know is to remember that you've seen. To see is to know without remembering. Thus, painting is remembering the blackness."⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I had picked up and put down this book several times in the last two years, so when I finally finished reading this book yesterday I was elated like I have achieved something. In a way I have😊⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Undoubtedly this book is a masterpiece. Its rich and painstakingly detailed, which is the essence of the book as it tried to described the purpose of art, the distinction between the Islamic and the Western style of art, and the influence of the latter among the artists in 16th century Istanbul creating conflicts among themselves leading to chaos  and murders.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The author, meticulously and cleverly, incorporated the rather dull philosophical discussion of art into plots, consisting of multiple narrators, that are interesting and suspenseful, as the story slowly unfolds itself towards the climax. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ It will require some patien
