The Shortcuts

The book emphasizes the importance of honesty with oneself, particularly in a competitive society where humility and common sense often seem undervalued. It encourages introspection, courage, curiosity, resilience, and self-love. The author argues that true balance and fairness are essential for personal growth and building trust in life and others.

In contemporary society, there is a significant deficit of justice in both personal and public life, leading to painful fractures in relationships. The book is designed to be an easy read, meant for meditation and thoughtful reflection. Readers can engage with individual chapters or the entire book, focusing on self-improvement and abandoning ineffective shortcuts while embracing more beneficial ones.

The central idea of the book is that by recognizing oneself as a spiritual being-a fractal of the Universe-experiencing life from a physical perspective, one is on the path back to the Source.
