The Happiness Equation: Want Nothing + Do Anything = Have Everything by Neil Pasricha
Did not finish book. Stopped at 17%.

Whhat made me put down the book was calling someone "huge" as something negative. It's 2023, I don't need stupid beauty standars like this shoved into every corner.

I personally really didn't like the ending.
The main characters choices and reaction at times were kind of frustrating to read and the story introduced many elements that could have been used for more rounded characters, but in the end were pretty much forgotten.
