About the author
Nic Obi
1 bookNic Obi doesn't believe in formulaic rules for biographies. He prefers spontaneity. Custom dictates that an author's bio should look and sound a certain way, but if it were up to him, there would only be one line: "Growing up barefoot in the forest made my imagination come alive."
Obi grew up in nature. Immersed in the waters of the Indian Ocean, he loves nothing more than the flow of nature's rhythm. These days he is an award-winning Creative Director living in Abu Dhabi. It's a long way and many years from that natural home, but these influences have helped unlock his dynamic wisdom and energy. An intrepid searcher, he uses travel, research, mindful living, and his own flavor of meditation to motivate his mind. He wants to see things differently from the herd and chase the light within.

Review on my bookstagram @macairebooks
January 19, 2023
"Outwardly we are maturing. Outwardly, we are confident, taking charge, and make a living, but inwardly we still feel like helpless, confused children in some ways."
----------
Who here feels lost at times in this crowded busy adult life? I mean, we believed we were invincible back when we were kids. We believed we could fly. And now that we are an ‘adult’, where did that belief and bravery gone?
Well, this book helps us to find our true self. The author made a great point about children that were born pure, original, and hold timeless energy when they were still innocent. Then they grew up and ‘have to’ fit into a ‘damaged’ society full with ghastly opinions and hate. We all do snd still have that children side somewhere within ourself. In fact, that children is our true self. This book is a good reminder of the abundant energy and joy that we felt when we were little kids.
There were many practical theories, insights, and cutting-edge techniques to guide the readers in rediscovering themselves. It dealt with current problems that people often encounter in their lives, such as procrastination, self-sabotage, low self-esteem, among others things that affect every human-being. Very relatable, right? I learned so much about myself in a short time.
Written in such detailed and innovative yet straightforward way, it was easy to understand and follow most of the techniques written in this book. Not to mention it also filled with beautiful wisdom to contemplate on and apply to.
Such a food for thought!

When you were a child, life was all about fun and play (and exploring). Where did that joy go? What happened? Adulthood happened. Life happened. This book presents some ways to recapture that child's joy as an adult.
Imagine all negativity leaving your body, while you are sitting on the toilet. To combat procrastination, imagine that an invisible film crew is with you all the time, turning your life into a movie. Perhaps it is a romantic comedy, or an action film. The human body consists of trillions of micro-organisms; billions are born and die every day. Imagine that those "new" micro-organisms are smiley-face emojis, filled with joy at getting the chance to serve you. Maybe, one day, all that joy will pour out of you, like an aura, and you will spread it to others. You are looking at yourself in a mirror, and a 90-year-old you looks back at you. Future You regrets that they never did "it," whatever it is. Snapping back to the present, you suddenly have the chance to change the future, and remove that bit of regret from Future You.
This is a very eye-opening book. Some of the suggestions may seem a little weird, but give them a chance. They may be just what you need. More than one reading might be necessary to "get" this book, but it is time very well spent.

Do you feel like you’ve lost your true sense of self? Author Nic Obi provides the methods to recover who you really are by using your imagination for a dramatic and thorough change in your life. The book directs the reader on how to capture your essence, the core value many people experienced in childhood but got lost in adulthood. He tells us that youthful feeling isn’t lost: it remains. The book’s foremost lesson is that going barefoot in the forest inspires the imagination to come alive. This is an author who grew up by the Indian Ocean surrounded by nature, who transfers the lessons of the rhythm of nature’s flow to unlatch spirited wisdom and energy for you to harness to reclaim who you are.
I enjoyed most the way he effectively uses research, travel, a unique style of meditation, and living with awareness in the current moment to motivate the reader. To master personal development, Nic Obi asks you to forget about much of what you’ve been taught: the way you’ve been instructed to view the world – to be an individual, instead – and seek the divine presence within you, perhaps forgotten since childhood, to enlighten and guide your soul.

This read was defying the odds of the third eye. It had you thinking at the speed of light with all the information I was given. The techniques target our habits of self speaking. They can help de-condition your perception. The ego is sly. When it senses a threat to its existence , it reacts in all kinds of subtle ways. It will convince you, you are unworthy, you can’t let it. Breathing is the number one method to enjoy a stress free life. Be in tune with your breathing. Obi enlightens us with these grateful methods to ensure we are all taking care of ourselves. His wording gets you hooked on learning more and more about our bodies and minds and how well connected they both are to each other. Your body's intelligence knows how to balance things better than any book or rhetorical exercise. We can’t let ourselves get disconnected, because we are special creatures of habit and we need to be able to break away those patterns. I would highly suggest reading this book, I will definitely begin reading this again. His words speak so much volume, listen and repeat living a truly blessed life.

It's a really good book that would help you to deep down on your feelings and thoughts; it will make you come closer to get the wonders of living and be aware of how we should always keep loving and being amazed by life as we did when we were kids so we could find ourselves truthy. It's a book that would make you understand that everything you’re feeling and living is okay and really valuable, that all this is keeping you closer to accomplishing what your soul wants and needs.
The author gives some techniques and tips for us to get to know us better and to accept us the way we are, with all our flaws, living the life we lived when we were younger, all our core feelings that made us the person that we are now. These tips would help us in the process of inner growth and it would make us reflect on every aspect.
It's not a guide of what you should do or how you should live, it would just help you to find the ways that work in your case to get who you are and get through all the different moments in life, even more in the hard ones. Highly recommended.

Mental Reset and Development
I would characterize Barefoot in the Forest of You as a self development book. Nic Obi gives the reader 24 methods of changing the way they think about a situation and about themselves. He gives an introduction to each segment then dives into how to use the technique and what situations the technique works best.
Obi wrote, “The more we use and strengthen a particular mental pathway, the more difficult it becomes to create a new pathway.” This is great insight. If you always look at issues the same way, your mind will always come to the same conclusion. The techniques discussed in this book will help you make new pathways and rediscover the happier, less stressed you.
For the most part, the book is well written. Some parts felt wordy. I understand the book is about ways to change thought process, but some parts were very philosophical and seemed to veer off track.

This book takes the reader on a journey of self discovery through a series of techniques intended to help the reader overcome self-sabotage and rediscover their true nature and become a better version of themselves. The author explores different philosophies and how they all point to a deep longing inside of all of us to find and reconnect without inner child and true nature. The techniques focus on the habits of self-speak and how they can be used to recondition our perception of ourselves and reality. These techniques include identifying your false self, honoring and paying attention to your body, the power of breath, physical reality vs consciousness, simulation theory and quantum physics, getting in touch with nature, and how life can teach us valuable lessons. This is an excellent book for personal development and self exploration and challenges the reader’s preconceived notions on how they can improve themselves.

It doesn’t beat around the bush as many self-help books do and it transmits in a simple and straightforward way the principles we need to take into account when embarking on our journey of self-discovery and enlightenment.

This book is a wonderful guide full of personal experiences and detailed explanations to achieve this goal. The way in which it is written makes it very easy to understand and follow. I highly recommend it.

When I first started this book, I wasn’t sure how it would turn out or if I’d be interested in it. But after reading the first chapter, I did get interested in it. I especially enjoyed reading about the authors life, I also enjoy it, it makes me understand the authors better. I loved the writing and how this book is a way for you to heal and think differently about yourself. I enjoyed how the author would add quotes in sections of the book. I did find it fun how she wrote about a section and then later she would write about the technique to do it. I loved how detailed she was about this, most authors sometimes aren’t as detailed. I always enjoy when there is detailed involved, it makes me understand it better. All in all, I did love this book and enjoyed this book as well as the authors writing style. How there weren’t any typos and everything was clear so you understood.

Great reminders!
This book is all about reminding us of who we truly are. It’s a reminder of the abundant energy and joy that we felt when we were little kids. We get less of a lesson in self-help and more of a lesson of coming home to ourselves. Starting with the technique of identifying our false selves, I learned so much about myself in a short time. This primary ego persona is difficult to overcome, though. It has had years and years of basically controlling who we think we are. The next technique helps with honoring our bodies. I think many of us put our physical health on the back burner, so this one is also very helpful. I’m looking forward to working with all of the techniques for years to come.

As a consequence of both points above, I think this reading can be useful and help to different kind of readers. I will surely recommend it in the future.

Through 24 methods, Obi teaches us how we can reconnect to the idea of being part of nature, and use the visualizations of nature to improve your mental and physical well-being.

"Barefoot in the Forest of You" is an inspirational book written by Nic Obi, in which the author explores self-discovery. For each topic, the author proposes a different technique to follow. Transforming ourselves is undoubtedly the target of this book.
I found this reading very interesting because, from the beginning, the author exposes what he intends with this book and with the techniques he proposes. Transforming the energies, taking advantage of the imagination and revolutionizing our interior are undoubtedly 3 of the things that I achieved during the reading.
Being able to self-rediscover and self-enquire are aspects that need to be worked on in order to achieve them, but author Nic Obi does an excellent job guiding the reader on this path. I certainly recommend it!

Nic Obi provides readers with a beautiful template for connecting or reconnecting with themselves. Whether you have never taken the time to truly explore your inner workings or if you are in a place where you have lost touch with the most important pieces of yourself, Barefoot in the Forest of You is a wonderful place to jump in. Each chapter touches on a different key used to unlock another layer of yourself and includes a useful technique to using that key as well as thorough, relatable examples of how the author or others have explored these layers. Short chapters with applicable information make this a great read for those who can power through in a single sitting as well as busy individuals who only have a few minutes to sit down and read.

Nic Obi creates a guide to finding your inner child in "Barefoot in the Forest of You." Grounded in the author's own struggles with self-sabotage and ego, readers will find a set of techniques that walk them step-by-step through the process of regaining the core feeling of their childhood. Although each technique is different, they all share the common focus of imagination and mindfulness as tools to "de-condition your perception" of who you are as an adult. The focus here is on self-mastery, not improvement. Obi uses evocative prose to create scenes of nostalgia and create a friendly relationship with their readers rather than the role of a mentor. While the book has done fairly well, do be advised that the techniques offered may only be applicable in certain personal journeys.

Growing up, being mature is not as easy thing to do.
This was such a wonderfully deep and thought provoking book to read. The authors intentions are for the reader to recall that certain homey, comfortable, freeing feeling we were just preoccupied with as kids. We need to find that again, as we seem to lose it when we ‘grow up’ and become responsible members of society. He reminds us that it doesn’t have to be that way, and offers techniques such as visualization and certain actions that lead us back into that feeling and perspective that we once had. I recommend this book for that old and euphoric feeling, it was such a great read.

As the author says, it is aimed at people who struggle with self-sabotage, inner division, and negativity. I think it is a great way to regain happiness, find new perspectives on life, and gain tools to face problems.
I liked it because the writer sincerely shares his own experiences and communicates his ideas in a simple and easy way. It was really helpful for me. Although it is aimed at young adults, I highly recommend it for everyone, regardless of age.

I'm ready to go find the me that's on the other side of the wall.
