I've read a lot of philosophy. There were many references to philosophers and celebrities, and even fictional characters like Homer Simpson.
The book pretty much covers everything from money, to relationships, to learning but doesn't touch too deeply on each. It's definitely a great book to find references for more authors and books about one specific topic.

#Life by Jym Brown is a self help book. This book is written in four parts, each part having various chapters. This book help us to figure out how we can live in the moment, we can find who we really are. It motivates us to learn the things we want to learn about.
Taking risks in life is very important to change it for the better. This book also guides us to deal with anger and frustration. Author has mentioned various quotes by famous personalities in this book. Below quote is one of my favorite from the book:
“Do not live to satisfy the expectations of others.”
- Ichiro Kishimi
I like to strongly recommend this book to those who want to live their best life in reality and not just for showing off on social media. This book will provide the needed wisdom for it. Language of this book is easy and this is the kinda book that everyone should read at least once. Cover of the book could have been more creative. Title is apt. Overall, it's worth reading book.
