You Need a Manifesto: How to Craft Your Convictions and Put Them to Work by Charlotte Burgess-Auburn, Stanford d.school

I agree that it is important to determine our values and goals, to have direction and know what we believe and what we want to do. However, this book is heavy on the individualism and moral relativism. ~you have all the answers inside of you, you'll know what's right because it will feel right to you~
Also, kinda feel like the point of a manifesto is not to rewrite it every day?

i really liked the writing style, but i think i would have enjoyed the story more if i knew more about japanese myths. also, expected a twist but there wasn’t really one, and at the end i feel like still didn’t really understand the characters’ relationships and motivations.
