I wanted to read a book on mindful and intentional living and this was one of the few books that showed up on Audible.
Aside from a few chapters that were rather scientific and a snoozeville for me to read (honestly had to skip Chapters 2, 3, & part of the last chapter to finish this book), I indulged in the overall content and took home a lot of lessons - the most eye-opening being that “time is a human-made construct” and that the time to truly live in is NOW. If we thought less about the past/future and just lived more freely in the moment, life would be a whole lot easier.
If this book didn’t have all of the scientific jumbo (which did contribute to explaining more about this book), I definitely would have rated it a 5/5, but the scientific parts made me feel like I was reading a dry textbook from college. Other than that, I loved and agreed with a lot of the points that the author shared.
Overall, I definitely recommend this book for anybody who wants to live more in the moment and less online or for others. It was a quick and easy book I was able to get through in less than 3 days!
