Book Description

March 16, 2006
Is it possible to achieve inner peace in the midst of our hectic daily lives? Through small insights, Fragments of Reality shows us how to live fully in every moment and how to be successful without compromise.

Author Peter Cajander has the exceptional talent to capture the essence of life and convert it into wisdom that speaks the language of our hearts and souls. He points out how our own beliefs and assumptions create confusion and hardship by discussing topics such as:

  • Belief systems that define who we are and how we interpret the world
  • Life and death
  • Meditation techniques
  • Our feelings and emotions
  • The subjective phenomenon of reality
  • And much more

Fragments of Reality is all about life. It reveals concrete and easy-to-understand examples of how our mind plays tricks on us and prevents us from seeing our true harmonious and peaceful existence. It also shows us the reality of life that we can all experience and explore even in the busiest metropolis of the world. Through his artful prose, Cajander details his exploration for harmony and tranquility that everyone can have.

4.0 out of 5 stars In Search of Reality, March 14, 2011
This review is from: Fragments of Reality: Daily Entries of Lived Life (Paperback)
Fragments of Reality reflects the confrontation between youthful idealism and harsh realities. The sparks are flying high and wide, illuminating a young man's search for an existential platform.

It is fascinating to follow this voyage of discovery of a creative mind, steered only by an unwavering quest for truth. All the insights are not necessarily new but still genuine, reborn in the heat of a personal revelation. Together they testify to the unquenchable spirit of the human mind, struggling for meaning in the hurly-burly of modern life.

The diary format is charming. Even so one feels that some of the gems could have benefited from additional grinding and honing. But - life is short and art is long.
