A short but very accessible introduction to topics such as mindfulness, meditation and health in the modern world. I enjoyed the authors voice and found him relatable but would have liked more in depth information. Overall for me it was a quick summary of topics I already knew about rather than a source of new information.

Great read
Great book. A quick and easy read for some tips on how to better yourself and those around you. Although not a problem for me, some readers might find the authors frank and foul mouthed style of writing too much.

I was actually surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. There's swearing, and the language is quite colloquial and with lots of little jokes along the way. However, it absolutely hits all the important points, and the arch of the overall message was delivered really well. Great little read!
