Sitting between the saint and the sinner at church, Kamaria Powell began asking life’s most thought provoking questions and to her surprise, she started receiving answers. What The F#@k Is Enlightenment? takes you on her unconventional journey past self-judgment into an awareness of the Divine within. Let’s face it, life is messy and there are often many detours but the message is clear: You are not forgotten and no matter how many times you’ve messed up, God is not mad at you. Kamaria encourages you to embrace your own spiritual identity no matter how unorthodox it may seem. It is by transforming ourselves that we in turn transform our world.
Different perspective and approach of spirituality. Like the simplicity and easy understandable writing. It seems like you are chatting with a friend, who explain her journey and give you examples to grasp the concept she is trying to make you aware of. It's fresh and the author writing is fluid. You let yourself think through her experiences.
Is it time to change, to look differently at your love life, to embrace what you really want to do? This book can be a good start. No complexity, a direct modern vocabulary that speaks to everybody and inspire you to try.
Usually with more deep books about enlightenment and spirituality, they can be hard to digest, ask some time between the chapters or even be so overwhelming that you may put them aside, if you are not ready. This one is a very good surprise. Even if the answers are all in ourselves, you will not get bored while reading this book.
I've enjoyed myself! It was a good reminder of how life can be beautiful if you change your perspective. Something super easy to say but more difficult to really embrace. Nice read.
This is a really great book, particularly for people who come from Church going families and backgrounds. Kamira really gets to the heart of enlightenment using real life situations, examples and her journey. Her advice is clear, and accessible and her writing fluid and very readable. The whole book is broken down like a conversation with a friend trying to explain her journey to you. Each chapter is fairly short and you can breeze through this book or take your time and absorb each chapter, up to you.
I loved how thoughtful and sensitive this book is to spiritual seekers. Kamaria's approach is engaging and wise, and her out of the box, offbeat spiritual dedication will appeal to many millenials looking to leave religiosity in the past, but that still want to engage with some sort of faith and spiritual set of values.
A really different look at enlightenment and spirituality. If you enjoy reading different people's spiritual perspectives, this book does a fantastic job explaining spirituality and a lot of the difficulties people face when looking toward different forms of spiritual expression.
Reading about Kamaria's life experiences and the way she used them to carve a real spiritual life was inspiring and helpful. Her story is relatable and her tips are meaningful and easily applied! Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, Kamaria's book is a great read!
I loved this book that asks readers to use their personal experiences and spiritual callings to find a good fit for a reflective and authentic life. Recommended for anyone that wants to find a healthy spiritual life that is inclusive of multiple paths.
"What The F#@K Is Enlightenment?" is like having a very personal conversation with a dear friend. What I loved the most about this book is that there wasn't any need for fancy words, techniques or roundabout ways in order to successfully approach spirituality and get helpful advice. This book is specially nice for those who want to dive into the subject of spirituality and self-help but feel overwhelmed by the complexity, subjectivity, and so forth that many other books in the field have.
