"Tomorrow’s as good a day as any to kill oneself."

This old man called Ove is really growing on me.

"There is nothing to practice or
study. It only requires one to move his yardstick for success
from external goals (more dates, more sex) to internal goals
(better relationships, more emotional fulfillment, overall
happiness). This book will lay out how this internal process
occurs and how to achieve it in yourself.

Big topics for such a little book.

Something about japanese culture you can sense in their books, manga and anime that is unlike anything else.

The way they emphasize on respect, purpose and descpline is incredible and something we all should learn from.

Already giving me 5 star vibes, I cant seem to put this book down.

Can't believe it took me 200 pages to get familiar with all the names of the characters. (Not all to be honest, just the main ones)

I've decided to take my time with this one and not just read the laws one by one but to try to memorize them and hopefully master them till they become instinctive.

This will surely fuck up my initial plan of reading one book a week but a book like this is definitely worth it.

So far the author has put forth some compelling arguments to suggest the inferiority of television as a medium for rational public discourse.
But it feels too preachy and wasn't really subtle with it's point.

"What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism."

"This book is about the possibility that Huxley, not Orwell, was right."

What a start👌

Waaaaay better than the movie.

Already 5 stars for me.
