I initially saw the movie and thought I would enjoy reading the book. Usually it is the other way around you red the book first and then see the movie. I found this book to be an enjoyable read and full of a lot of interesting insight. I am not a golfer, nor do I live with a golfer but the insights and approach to finding your center applied to me. It's basically a book about learning to take a step back and breathe before life becomes to much to handle. I liked the book and I'm not into self help books. This book made several important point without all the preaching, self-serving of most self-help books. The movie was really good too.
Old, trite and a rehash of all the symbolic golf books out there, with a dose of Jesus thrown in for good measure. Would not recommend. There are much better books out there that aren't imitations of "Golf in the Kingdom" and "The Legend of Bagger Vance".
