did not like it

This book is based on what the ancient Vedic texts call the four ashrams. The way Shetty has used and described the four ashrams is completely incorrect and his own interpretation. This entirely construes the sanctity of the four ashrams. I understand it may be adapted, but to show that the ashrams are all based on ‘love’ is wrong.

The single star rating I have given is for the author’s ability to link back to the Bhagavad Gita and bring in examples from Shri Krishna and Arjun. I wanted to avoid this negative review, but felt that I must be honest with what I had read and thought.

Steve Freeman So what do you know about relationships? Or why people buy his book even those who know nothing about Ashram like me for example? Why don't we know anything about you? Anyway you are also a writer and have written book but.... nobody even knows you here on goodreads.


Bella This was such a helpful review

Tanya Not having been a writer or not being “famous” doesn’t mean you have zero intelligence or anything useful to say. 🙄 I found the review helpful. Thank you.


arina @Steve you don’t need to be an accomplished writer to write a review of a book, especially when Jay Shetty does not have any qualifications to write about love apart from a bit of experience as a monk either?


arina Thank you for this review, the book just isn’t sitting right with me and I think this is why.
