Very refreshing book with a shit ton of useful wisdoms. I don't think I've ever marked more parts in a book (e-book, don't worry ;)).
Will definitely revisit this book in the future and I honestly already feel different about myself since reading this book and it's been like two weeks since I started it.
I definitely recommend this book (to everyone!), even those who hate self-help books because I feel like this one shows a new kind of energy that doesn't just tell you what you want to hear whilst hiding behind fakeness. It felt very real and I appreciated that.
Was a little bit repetitive at some points but asides from that it really was the type of book I 'needed' to read right now.

nxclx's review against another edition
DNF'd around page 180. The first half was okay at best (there was an over abundance of the word fuck, I'm guessing for shock factor as if it's not on the cover of the book. Regardless, it's over used, and that's coming from someone who uses it daily), but then the second half (at least what I read of it) went off the rails and it seemed extremely self indulgent on the author's part. I understand what he said and the stories, remedies, and statistics, but it came across as tasteless and completely off base of what the book was supposed to be about. Glad I didn't pay for this.
