Exactly what the synopsis promises

Revisado: 04-01-23

I was fortunate to find the story of Drizzt in high school, and found that he shared a lot of my way of thinking about the things I saw in humanity. I took his philosophy along with me into the infantry when the Global War on Terrorism kicked off. I can’t imagine how much my experiences might have been different without his idealism and fictionalized example to reflect on as I found myself having violent adventures of my own. Specifically those dealing with understanding the humanity in your enemy and choosing when and how to apply lethality when appropriate.

This book extracts the philosophical musings of Drizzt chronologically from the novels, and presents them as you would expect a book with “Dao” in the title would. I find myself being transported back in time to what i was experiencing and processing at the time in my life when i read them, as well as reflecting on the similarities in my life that Drizzt also experienced with his friends.

If you enjoy philosophy, this vibes with Aurelius’ Meditations, at least in the style of a first person journal entry style.

If you enjoyed Drizzt’s story, this is a beautiful book for your shelf (I purchased the hardcover as well as the audiobook). It’s crafted well and made to last.

If you are unfamiliar with Drizzt, I’m not sure how you landed here, but if you aren’t curious to start his novels after the first trilogy entries, there’s probably no future for your relationship with the Companions of the Hall.
