Illusions
by Richard Bach
Bach's short fable of a barnstorming pilot who meets a reluctant messiah, with a 'Messiah's Handbook' of aphorisms: argue for your limitations and they are yours; you teach best what you most need to learn. It is light, charming and quotable, with a New Thought metaphysics beneath.
Read it if…
you want a light, quotable fable about freedom and belief.
Skip it if…
you want depth; it is a pleasant afternoon.
Three things you will actually use
- Argue for your limitations and they are yours.
- You are never given a wish without the power to make it true, the book says; take the first half.
- Teach what you need to learn.
Do this first
Find the aphorism that stings and ask why.
Our verdict
Light and quotable.
