“Wow, I honestly didn’t expect any less from your expression. This book is a masterpiece. Here’s some ways it impacted me, Your piece gave me the foundation to understand and remember who I am, how I want to interact, and express myself.
Your pattern of understanding how things work influenced how I approach learning and engage with my own creativity. For example, you tend to go to the very root or beginning of something to truly understand it. Then, you follow its “vine,” exploring it inside and out, and from there, you use your creativity to arrive at a fully flourished creation or understanding. Which seems simple, but hey I lost touch with origin.
How self actualization can be effected or diseased is a new profound knowledge I haven’t realized before. I often found myself disoriented and influenced by others through media or social interactions that I’ll loose my track of my persona or second guess what I’m creating.
Understanding the informational age and building wealth influenced how I see order from what feels like a birds eye view. How you understand and engage with this order deeply resonates with me, bc how society understands and teaches order has never resonated with me, so I found myself searching for knowledge or whatever it was I was looking for.
I always knew I had to fulfill my purpose and display my talents — otherwise, life felt hollow. But what really changed the game for me was your insight on generating wealth and visualization. Your visuals and metaphors have always been something I admire in your writing they’re clear, unique, and help me understand whatever you’re talking about on a deeper level.
So without the knowledge, or a map, it would’ve taken me much longer to get here lol. because I’m a voyager who always knew to act on her purpose and talents, but I’m now realizing that alone wasn’t enough. A girl needed to be more equipped. I loved this book and grateful for your knowledge you’ve inspired me a lot and helped me accept parts of myself by observing your way of being. Thank you, with gratitude truly 🙏🏽” - Jasselle
“How to Be Peaceful was medicine wrapped in words for me, and reading it felt like a very sacred remembering. Nicholson’s gentle yet profound guidance on the four pillars—meditation, consumption, relationships, and wealth—helped me to see my life with new eyes.
This book helped me recognize the ways distraction and addiction had crept into my days, not as something to judge or shame but to simply to see - the symptoms of an undernourished soul and an overfed mind/body. Now, I am learning to return inward, to that steady well of love and calm that was always there.
After finishing this book I am reminded of the excitement for my life I had as a child, - hopeful, creative, and grounded in the truth that my unique offering to the world is good. It carries beauty and freedom for myself and others!
Most of all, this book reminded me that the love and validation I’ve been searching for outside has always been within. And that is such a gift. Nicholson Porter has written something truly precious: a guide back home to yourself.” - Naomi
