You can read the texts in order or open them intuitively, like an oracle offering just the conversation you need that day. Sometimes the tone is tender and poetic, sometimes direct and disarming - but always with one purpose: to show that we are not alone in our humanity, and to invite deeper reflection.
This is a book for you who:
- seek self-understanding beyond clichés
- want to make sense of your inner voices and what they're trying to say
- feel that life is speaking to you, but don't always know how to listen
The letters explore what we rarely put into words: the struggle between control and surrender, the longing for trust, the fear of our own greatness, and the love that quietly whispers beneath it all.
A Correspondence with Life is suited for moments of stillness, for conversations with friends, in the therapy room, or as a companion on your pillow at night. It's a book to return to - one that grows with you the more you dare to meet yourself.
The book is written by Mikael Ingelin, a thoughtful and wholehearted soul who has chosen to live close to the essence of life - not through theory, but through experience. Mikael has walked between worlds: from the ceremonial darkness of the jungle to the quiet clarity of everyday life, where every meeting and emotion invites reflection.
Rooted in self-inquiry, therapy, and the intelligence of nature, he has learned to listen - not just to others, but to what whispers beneath the surface in every human being. He sees life as a conversation rather than a problem to be solved, and this book is a reflection of that: a dialogue with what often goes unspoken.
Through his letters, Mikael invites the reader to pause, feel, laugh, peel back layers - and perhaps, finally, meet themselves.
