This is very much so not my usual reading material but my Aunt recommended this book to me after telling her I wanted some quick little reads to try to reach my goal of 50 books this year. 

I understand this book is more about philosophy and not necessarily about character development or plot, so I wasn’t mad that there wasn’t a whole lotta that going on here. Overall, I thought the messages in it were really thought provoking and interesting. I enjoyed the journey. 

Was kind of nice to read something that’s normally out of my comfort zone. Might try it again at some point. 💁‍♀️
