Positive thinking gospel at its worse. It's just dangerous. Just be who you want to be... Are you an introvert, don't worry, dahli acted like an extravert and look who he became. Have pitty on the people who play it safe. Don't worry if you're clinically depressed and don't have the resilience to deal with setbacks. Do you have a Family to care for... Fuck them. It's not refreshing, it's not courageous. Yes, take risks, but within manageable impact. It's just dangerous. I'm a social worker and I can give many more examples of people who took Risk without thinking it through and failed. We can't all be Richard Bransons, so don't tell people they can be!

A good read on how to push yourself in different situations. Good examples and nicely written.

The last few chapters were just a whole lot of paragraphs printed one after the other with no real link between them …
