Mind Platter by Najwa Zebian
3.0
3/5 stars
“... don't invest your feelings in things. Don't invest them in people. Don't be good, considerate, honest, generous, and compassionate to others because you are investing in them as people, meaning because you expect something in return. If you do, you will be, and most likely you already have been, brought to deep disappointment. Be good to people because you are investing in goodness, consideration, honesty, generosity, and compassion, because those qualities have never failed to be rewarding.”
This book had a very strong start, it was a solid 4 star book for me, but as I kept on readings the writing and topics became so redundant. Some parts of the book were really good but most of the prose were quite repetitive.
“The reality you live in is partially up to you. The fantasy you live in is entirely up to you.”
