Summary
Bloomsbury presents I May Be Wrong by Björn Natthiko Lindeblad, read by Thom Petty.
‘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
The Sunday Times bestselling book of comfort and timeless wisdom from former forest monk, Björn Natthiko Lindeblad
___________
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.
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.
What helps us respond to life as it unfolds? To live freely, stay humble and find comfort in difficult times?
In the Swedish sensation I May Be Wrong, former forest monk Björn Natthiko Lindeblad shares his advice on how to face the uncertainty and doubt that is a natural part of life. We don't choose our thoughts. We don't control the shape they take, or what pops into our minds. We can only choose whether or not to believe them.
Infusing the everyday with heart, grace and gentle humour, this is a book to help us all navigate the realities of modern life.

‘I read it, turning down the corners of pages I wished to refer back to, and marking certain passages with a pencil. By the end, almost every page was folded and marked’ TELEGRAPH
‘A book of some brilliance’ DAILY MAIL
‘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 & HOME
'With our potential to maintain a peaceful state of mind, it is possible to remain optimistic in the face of difficulties. Björn Natthiko Lindeblad, a former forest monk in Thailand, relates his experience of training to properly direct his thoughts which can benefit all' HIS HOLINESS THE DALAI LAMA

Unexpectedly brilliant
So bored of self help preachy western monk type enlightenment books. Andy P, Headspace is a real turn off for me. This book is an autobiography and written about the authors life and how he dealt with life mentality and physically pre-monk, monk, post monk. The ending is a real suprise too. So interesting, so personal and so relatable. It’s worth reading even if you have no interest in enlightenment.

A story that will shake your core
I purchased the audio version of this book, but I loved it so much that I will need the paper version to re-read it and dive in that beautiful wisdom that it contains. This book is honest, pure, sincere, funny and sad at parts too, but it contains so much love that it was hard to put it down. Deeply grateful that my path has brought me to this brilliant book.

Absolutely Stunning and Eye-opening
Natthiko's way of expressing his emotions throughout this book is breathtakingly real. The truth and bravery of his life is inspiring. Lots of great ways to apply the lessons he learnt to every day life. Great performance too!

A master piece for everyday humans
I wish every one that is struggling with everyday life get to read this. It’s a must read for all Buddhist out there.
It is not a religious text by any means but a coping mechanism for struggles of your everyday life.

A decision, a life and a wisdom
it was real painful to picture anyone going through the life journey Bjorn had chosen for himself. I felt the pains, the frustrations and the downturns his life brought to him as they were ones of my own. everyone is indeed going through something difficult as the story repeatedly highlights. yet it does not reduce the pain to know exactly that without the relieving hope or truth depends what one choose to comprehend that human suffering isn't perminant. and it must not go one for ever and that one shall pass too.
