Good points

The book gave a lot of great points on the duality of life. It leaves room for personal reflection for growth and development.

Compensation by Emerson

My last few books by Napoleon Hill has referenced this essay. I was eager to read it for myself. It is a great read for the person seeking guidance from the universe.

Beautifully crafted essay on life

This short, sweet and beautifully crafted essay delves into the laws of compensation as it’s title suggests. In the past some would refer to this as alchemy. To listen to this essay, and glean Mr. Emerson’s insight, almost feels heretical. Fore amidst it’s nuances and detail, lies a truth that is timeless yet forgotten. Make no mistake. Compensation is a primary law that governs humankind. (Full disclosure. I don’t usually write anything in the style of verse that I did in the previous text. After listening to the laws of success and being led to this essay, I feel compelled to now start conversing and writing as such.)

Was recommended

There were some good one liners but for me it was alittle difficult to place. Maybe I’ll read it again it maybe better the second time around.
