Biết được quyển này sau khi đọc blog The Present Writer có nhắc đến "bệnh nghiện sự chắc chắn" . Đọc chương giới thiệu đầu tiên mà như nói về cái sự thường xuyên căng thẳng, lo lắng, không thích sự bất ngờ do với mình bất ngờ thường dễ mang đến sự tiêu cực.
Đọc quyển này với mong đợi là sẽ thấm nhuần được cái tư tưởng về cuộc sống luôn ngập tràn "maybe" và mình nên hoàn toàn cởi mở với điều đó. Nhưng đọc được 30% thì thấy quyển này với mình hơi lan man :v Tức là ý tưởng thì (nghe) hay nhưng diễn giải lại dài dòng và không thấy các luận điểm chính ấy.

In summary, this book is just a different/longer way of saying, "All things work together for good..."

I did enjoy some of the stories that the author shared to convey her message. Her message is about looking towards the positive in our life by always viewing events as maybe having a positive outcome.
