An Uncaged Review for 'Uncage Yourself'

I was reached out to by Goodreads Author, Sophia Kaankuka, who asked me to read her book and share my thoughts on it. This book could not have come into my hands at a better time when I was looking to make some changes in my habits with changing season. The perfect time a self-help book can resonate with you is when you are absorbing the information with an open mind and non-cynical approach. Therefore reading this book was an insightful experience for me, and I want to share the reason with you in this blog post.



Review for Uncage Yourself: A Guide on How to Free Oneself and Live one's Authentic Life


Praise for the book

Uncage Yourself is a collection of essays on a variety of topics of general life, on how to live an unbounded life to free yourself from all the hurdles and limitations that are a by-product of your own mind and misled thinking. It contains some heart-hitting facts that give you a soft blow of reality that cynical minds can not accept in the first go.


Sophia Kaankuka is the published author of over 13 published books in the same genre, thus this book excellently curates concepts of expectation and reality management. It details how to balance common life issues with psychological explanations behind their causes of them. Each word is powerful in its expression, which is the best detail of this book. You can actually feel the passion behind each word that reverberated from the pages. 


Uncage Yourself does not delay on the topic, it gets straight to the point with simple but effective articulation. Due to the fact that it contains real-world issues with substance to match the quality of the words, I believe this book is ideal for beginners.


with each topic, it goes into an in-depth analysis reasoned by behavioural and psychological explanation, from how to set boundaries, how to stand up for yourself in hard-to-manage situations, manage relatives with boundary issues, and liberate yourself from the guilt of things that accompanies being a human and more. 


Although a lot of the advice in this book is not brand-new, it is arranged and compiled in such a way that it serves as a useful reminder of how to find your beliefs and keep them. most of these chapters resonated with my ideologies, in addition to methods to practice them, especially how to set boundaries and striver in solitude


Now for the Cons: I thought this book was a little too long. With impactful writing, the need for a deep dive into the subject was redundant. It conveys the message quickly, but I lost patience as some of the details cycle on. 


Conclusion:

If you are looking for a view transformation but don't know where to stand, this can be your starting point but if you are also a seasoned reader of books that give you great prospects on how to liberate yourself from social conflicts you will also enjoy this book. 


Rating: 

⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

The French Dispatch: Review

  When I was in my fourth semester of graduation, the teacher gave us the assignment to write the script for one scene from our favourite movie. I chose a movie that I have never seen before but had downloaded on my laptop for about 7 months. That movie was ‘ The Grand Budapest Hotel' by Wes Anderson. And ever since I have been a great fan of the artistic style of Mr Anderson. The static frames of each scene gave me so much joy that I started making notes of all the scenes.  Since the start of my active involvement in reviewing movies (and books), I have been excited about one such movie. The French Dispatch.  Now if you have the slightest and mildest of interest in watching movies, that is source material for the study of cinematography, direction, art style with a hint of social commentary then you must have come across at least a few Wes Anderson recommendations that have popped up in your feed. And today, I present to you the greatest and the l...

Why Sir Alfred Hitchcock’s class Vertigo would fail with this generation.

When it comes to cinema and movies there are three types of movie watchers, as the term goes. The first category belongs to people who watch it for leisure, entertainment, on weekends and with friends and family. The second kind is the ones who watch it as background noise while scrolling through Instagram. And the third kind is the ones who study them, like me (and most of my friends). The third kind in my opinion is the worst because they extract all the fun and joy out of the simple form of entertainment, and that is what I am here for today.  If you are even mildly interested in writing and creating movies, there is no chance that you have not heard the name Sir Alfred Hitchcock . Popularly known as the Master of Mystery, Hitchcock has given Hollywood some of its greatest classics in the genre of mystery. The famous shower scene from Psycho is printed on all the books of cinematography for analysis.  Here's a task for you, name 5 Hitchcock classics. Did you na...
