📖 Maybe You're the Problem was a Goodreads giveaway win for me, and I signed up because I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and read something different. While this isn't my usual type of book, I still found it to be an insightful and engaging read!
📝 I’ll admit, this book took me the longest to finish—not because of the writing, but because it felt more like reading for class rather than for leisure. That said, I really appreciated how the author used real-life examples in each chapter, making it easier to relate and apply the lessons to my own life. The "Self-Development Time" questions at the end of each chapter were my favorite part! They truly made me reflect on my choices, decisions, and how I can improve moving forward.
✍️ I ended up highlighting 19 times—the most I ever have in a book! That alone says a lot about how impactful it was. I’d actually love to get a physical copy so I can jot down notes and revisit my highlighted sections more easily.
🔄 Overall, a great read for anyone looking to take a step back, reflect, and challenge themselves to grow. Definitely worth checking out if you're into self-development!
