101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think by Brianna Wiest

I can see how this book could be impressionable for someone, however, I found most of the essays to be practical knowledge that you could really find anywhere.
I also wasn’t a fan of the tone of the writing as it felt condescending to me.
Ultimately not a book for me and that’s ok!
