The Mosaic

The Mosaic is heart-warming and insightful. Love the characters in the book and especially love the traveler & the street artist. So much wisdom shared in this book. Felt like going on a journey with a wise sage which comes in a form of many characters. Such a delightful read. ❤

“What we see is not what is, but only what we see". ~ Daniel Bruce Levin⁠⁠⁠⁠If you've ever felt broken or disconnected, you'll want to read this. If you see the world differently than those around you, you'll want to read this. If you've ever had your life shattered into a hundred different pieces, you'll want to read this. If you've ever wondered how all these random pieces fit together (because they do), you'll want to read this.⁠⁠⁠⁠Everyone we meet, every experience we share and every layer of our being plays a part in building our personal mosaic. It's a comforting and beautiful thing if you stay open to seeing it!(If you like reading The Alchemist, you'll love this too!)

A very good read

My first impressions of the Mosaic actually started before I opened the book--it had a strong presence to it that I have not actually experienced before with a book. It has a powerful, almost psychedelic aura (I don't usually think of books having auras). The feeling was that I was preparing for the trip before I could start reading it. I'm not sure if others will have this same kind of experience with it, but it was interesting!Moving into actually reading The Mosaic, I was delighted by the style Danny chose to write it in. It's an unconventional format that takes a moment to get used to, but it has a really great rhythm that kind of propels you along. The artwork throughout the chapters is great and the overall book design contributes to a feeling of magic and wonder.As I got immersed in the story line, I had a few distinct moments in my everyday life that paralleled with the part of the book I was reading and made for some very strong synchronicity. Definitely was not expecting this, but also was not surprised ;)It took me a while to finish the book because I adopted the practice of reading one section at a time, savoring it slowly (like a piece of chocolate). By approaching it this way I also gained more opportunities for synchronicity between the book and events in my life. When I finally did make it to the end of the story, I sat in awe and wonder in how everything came together. Throughout the book there are rich layered metaphors and wisdom that I found really enjoyable to discover. The main character is so sweet and thoughtful, and his interactions with strangers along his path help us feel optimistic again about the beauty and potential of humanity.Ultimately, reading The Mosaic is a very personal experience and it seems as though everyone who gives it a chance can come away with some profound positive shifts in their life. The underlying theme of meaningful connection with other human beings is so universal and it's an important thing to be keeping in our thoughts and actions. This is an accessible, highly recommended book for just about anyone. And it's especially recommended for those who have trouble seeing from another person's perspective.

You know how the perfect books find you at the perfect time? Well, this is my exact experience with The Mosiac. This book has changed my life like no other book has. It’s become my favorite book and I love the author’s message. In a world where we feel so disconnected, all we want is love and connection and this book has shown me that connection and how we choose to love is within our power. This book is changing the world because it has changed my world. It starts with us, we have the ability to change the world around us and our circumstances, starting with our inner world and it starts with loving, allowing and accepting what is already here. I 100% agree that it’s like the Alchemist! And actually for me personally, it’s impacted my life more than the Alchemist because of all the beautiful characters and pieces of The Mosiac that show us new perspectives to view the beautiful Mosiac of experiences and people in our lives. The alchemy that my life went through as I read The Mosiac with my book club was so beautiful, I feel like I let go of the stories I was living in, so much regret, bitterness, jealousy resentment, and inner turmoil and felt empowered to choose a different story for me as each page and story of the book unfolded. Thank you Daniel for writing the Mosiac, my life has been transformed into a withering suffering flower into one that is budding and just now blooming with love, light, color, and appreciation for who I am, my life, and those that I love.
