What lessons did you learn from this book?
Honestly, this book left us great teachings and lessons for life, the
greatest is that of realizing that we are not masters of our destiny
but we do have the ability to modify it with the decisions we make.
Either we grow and we are happy or we destroy ourselves.
How does this book relate to my own life? Was it relevant for me?
We all have that "white whale" that tempts us, attracts us,
dominates us and makes us take risks, not always with the best
results .... Likewise, the author represented his own white whale in
this masterpiece in real life, but made up with unique phrases and
all his knowledge of life at sea.
