‘The Girl Who Thought Too Much’ is the story of Ruby, a young woman seeking enlightenment who finds herself on a harrowing journey. On her quest she discovers the drawbacks of technologically enhanced meditation. Finally, she realises that what she is searching for is within. 'The Girl Who Thought Too Much' is a haunting tale, based on real events, which will fill the reader with a sense of terror about the twists a human mind can take, but also with great hope and a belief in the power of love.
This book was very boring for me. The synopsis sounded like something I will really enjoy but the writing style even though it was plain and simple was very vague in terms of the subjects that the author wanted to tell. It was hard to get into and hard to get the point that the author wanted to make. I don't know if this was about meditation or mental health. Not recommended based on all that.
This book is a bit hard to rate. It didn't make much sense to me until the end and even then I felt like it left me hanging. And yet it may have given me some insight into the mind of a mentally ill person. If that truly is what is going on in the mind it is very scary as well as sad.
The Girl Who Thought Too Much is a deeply moving story, which kept me riveted. The richly woven narrative opens a door into Ruby’s journey and you truly feel you are walking alongside her.
I highly recommend this book. It offers many insights, from understanding the fragility of the human mind to the unconditional love of family and friends. A friend in need truly is a friend indeed.
A sensitive book, based on a true story about a young woman's mental breakdown as a result of her practising meditation. It demonstrates the processes of a breakdown and recovery in an engaging narrative. One feels deeply for Ruby on her journey.
