I started reading this book last May 2022, but for some reason, I found myself dreading the thought of reading this book. At first I thought I was not the target audience (it's written for people in their 20s), but I realized 2 things:
- I love YA books targeted to much younger audiences, and
- the main reason why I didn't like the book was because some of the thoughts shared are just... wrong. One example was when the author said that you can't control what you observe, how you react and generate, and what you allow to experience.
There are essays that are misleading because of this thought process. Aside from that, I don't think you get your money's worth in buying this book. The "wisdom" the author imparts can be freely read online. We have tons of self-help articles that express things more coherently than this book.
