Really hard to get through..
March 18, 2026
DNF - 85 pages in. The book was extremely hard to read through and lacks a clear structure besides the phrasing used by the author. It uses words like "going to war" to describe how to stay focused on getting through the day without thinking a negative thought, which I found bizarre because it would treat your support circle like they're your comrades. I guess the author was trying to be hip? And the advice is only surface level deep and frustrating to wanna finish each chapter. I lasted till chapter 5, but then the chapters started to read like the previous chapters and some bullet points were starting to repeat themselves. So I gave up, this isn't helpful to it's readers. The book also came out in 2000 but was reprinted to fit into our self help society trend right now with a fresh new cover. Trust me, pass on this one!
