NEXUS is incredibly inspiring for its portrayal of characters
struggling with life. It allows you to follow the journey of
different characters at a spiritual retreat and through their
experiences you learn about the human spirit.
The book never becomes preachy. It allows the reader to reflect on
the powerful message communicated throughout the story at a
subconscious level. Even with a strong message, the book never
feels like it's trying too hard. Instead it has a free-flowing
quality to it that keeps your interest.
Many different strategies are presented for overcoming personal
pain, including visualizations, meditation exercises, breath work
along with psychological and spiritual insights.
While the book deals a lot with depression, you don't have to be
depressed to gain practical wisdom from NEXUS. Ultimately, we learn
that the human heart can expand through genuine love and
compassion, and pains and hurts can be overcome. That's a very
important lesson in life.
This is a moving novel with a unique vision and a dramatic story
that in ways feels like a play or movie.
