About this listen
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

Good read from beginning to the end
Reading the book feels like going through the life of the author together with him. He thoughtfully distilled his life wisdom into a book that we can all read at our leisure. What a privilege to be able to learn from what he had to endure in his life!
Best to read the book from beginning to the end to experience the emotion in full with the author. The final chapter is the best, and definitely worth a second read.
It stroke me that sorrow could be so gently described by the sufferer, as if light breeze only subtly wrinkled calm water in a picturesque lake. The author did learn how to let it go.

Some lovely bits, but ...
I found it strange that his story did not explore more fully some key Buddhist concepts, like the illusion of self. Indeed, his self seemed rather prominent, as I suppose you might expect in a memoir or autobiographical work. Anyway, seemed like a lovely man, no longer with us.

A beautiful story with perfect narration
This is an absolutely beautiful book. I felt really moved by Bjorn's story. It was so well written. The narrator Thom Petty did a wonderful job also, his voice was so perfectly calming. Absolutely what you hope for with a story such as this.
