Tired of Pretending
This book hits deep. It’s for anyone who looks like they’ve got it all together but feels empty inside. The writing’s raw and real, like someone finally saying what you couldn’t. No advice, just honest words that make you stop and think. A quiet wake-up call for high achievers running on fumes. Definitely worth a slow read.

An interesting approach each to self awareness. Not a lot of "hacks" and gimmicks to feel better.
It asks you to go deep and discover purpose and meaning. Not an easy journey, but an important one .
Its listening to two friends being honest and open with each other.
It made me think about what matters.
Overall well done

Some deep thoughts
Interesting book in the sense it is almost a one way dialogue. Letters written from a friend struggling to another one. Many are deep in thought and really help you consider or reconsider where you are at and what is important. Interesting read.

The writing felt honest and gentle, and gave me space to slow down and reflect. I do wish it offered a bit more guidance on what to do next, but maybe that’s part of its message—just being present with the feeling is enough for now
