Overall, I enjoyed reading this book, especially while on the go. I was reminded that it’s nice to have books like this when there are times where you need to wait/ be patient. Time goes faster when you are in good mood!

At the same time, I learned that it’s more funny to listen to a comedian than to simply read their joke.
