A timeless mirror for every dreamer. It's such an easy read with such deep concepts that make you stare at the wall. A must read and i think every person should have a hard copy of this book at home.

A book that teaches you survival is not just physical, it’s spiritual. Meaning, even in suffering, is the core of our humanity. As an INFJ who looks for meaning in everything I loved it.

Rilke’s letters feel like they were written to the old soul in all of us. They remind you that solitude is not loneliness, it’s where your art begins.
