Dit boek nodigt erg uit om te vertragen én je bewust te zijn van wat er nu is。 Tussen de inspirerende hoofdstukken krijg je instructies om een papieren kraanvogel te vouwen。 Het is een boek om geregeld vast te nemen en een stukje te herlezen。

This book was received as an ARC from Chronicle Prism in exchange for an honest review。 Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own。I was skeptical at first reading this book because I have read so many books on origami art and the technicalities that I thought I was in for a snooze fest but, when I read it and Michael James Wong explained in glory detail the purpose and mindset of the 1000 paper cranes, I immediately felt calm and relaxed so, I had to read on。 I have re This book was received as an ARC from Chronicle Prism in exchange for an honest review。 Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own。I was skeptical at first reading this book because I have read so many books on origami art and the technicalities that I thought I was in for a snooze fest but, when I read it and Michael James Wong explained in glory detail the purpose and mindset of the 1000 paper cranes, I immediately felt calm and relaxed so, I had to read on。 I have read a while back a fictional story of a girl that was diagnosed of a terminal disease and her friend read the 1000 paper cranes can grant you your longevity and created them with her to keep her positive while battling this disease。 The sentiment and meaning behind the cranes was first and foremost what captivated me and I am glad Michael James Wong went in further depth in this book。 I know we will have many people needing a book like this sometime and it will do very well in our collection。We will consider adding this title to our Self Help collection at our library。 That is why we give this book 5 stars。 。。。more
