I am not sure on exactly how long ago o read this but I read it after a major breakup and loosing my Mom to cancer. It helped me find purpose and was a great distraction during that time. Now over 10 years later I still follow the practices I picked up in this book. They have put out podcasts and movies and they are very repetitive but this book was worth a read.
Really good message that inspired me to donate 80% of what I own before moving and change my outlook on life, ditching the corporate ladder rat race. I am significantly less stressed owning and purchasing less and make a significant effort to live a meaningful life.
While I was suspicious of what I could really be taught by two 20-something year old guys about life and “stuff,” I found a few good nuggets of truth and actionable items in the book. Worth a read.
