“Be a River, Not a Pond” is a collection of short reads metaphorically taking you down the river of life’s obstacles. These insights will help you to experience how familiarity becomes a comfort to us, but change produces stimulation and ultimately growth.

As the river of our journey changes with the tide and trials, we need to adjust our perspectives and embrace newness rather than ignoring urges to become stagnant and complacent (like a pond). This book is about a journey into overcoming one’s personal obstacles.
