Hello again everyone. Well here it is. I started this book on 4 December 2022 and finished it on 30 January 2023. What a wonderful book about personal transformation and big, big themes that are relevant today as to when Tolstoy wrote it.

I'm so glad I read this book. The characters and the story is something that will stick with you for a long time. You can't help but read and get surprised with how these characters act and what situations transpire because they'd make exactly the same decisions as we would.

In this video, I share what I got out of this book. There is so much more I could share about it but I realised that I was already about half an hour into it. I know that others will have their own interpretations of it simply because it's such a huge epic with so many layers to it.

If you haven't read War and Peace, I urge you to put aside your fears and immerse yourself into a world of characters you will warm to, love and feel close to. Each of them irritating but also so real. We are those characters.

I recommend also a great movie that can be found on YouTube (in Russian) that you can also watch after you read the book if you're so inclined.

Over to you. What are your thoughts about this book? What life lessons did you get out of it?
