Straight to the point!
She wrote the book with no pretentious ness. She wrote it so a five year old would understand, like all good writers do.

Some good points on becoming more disciplined
This book provides some good points to consider when working toward becoming more disciplined. The thoughts provided on failure, practice, and social media were most useful. Overall the book has some things to think about and the author does a good job driving her message through her experience of coming to the US as a high school student on a scholarship program that only covered the bare essentials.

Find your discipline and live
Zoe has done a fabulous job bringing us to understand that anything worthwhile takes time and discipline to do it. Practice, practice, practice... you won’t be perfect on the first go around. You will have failures. But, you can learn from your failures. Another point she makes is finding that one thing to do that you are passionate about. It’s what you can give your mind to discipline and accomplish much on your journey.
I recommend the book!

Firstly, I had been looking for a book which should capitulate the reader to start implementing the concepts and understanding then and there. If you can do that with your first read, then you can say that the book has its charms imprinted in the mind of the reader. This book is one of suchlike. This book is simple to read yet very on to the point & relatable. Happy to recommend.

Great lessons
I enjoyed how the author combined person anecdotal experience with the lessons of others who also failed but were not defeated by failure and grew as a result of it.

Gold
A great book for self aware people in need of confirmation. A good book to offer to someone who lacks observation skills. I would reread again and again.
