Interesting read, challenging my beliefs
Additionally, it’s also intriguing reading the reviews about the greater representation of men in this book as Dr Barkley is a leading expert in ADHD research and up until recently there hasn’t been much research on women with ADHD so that’s something to think about…

Captures the feelings of life so well, mesmerizing

Fantastic

Good

Fascinating depth

Appreciative of the version of world history that actually includes figures from the East (Chinese)

History is dry, but John Green writes in an insightful and gentle (but true) way, I appreciate

Good!

I love John Green’s style of writing and use of simple language to craft sentences of intricate emotion

Just started! I’ve been wanting to read this for a while, very excited to finally start!
I would like to actually gradually and consistently progress through this book

Amazing
Had a lot of thoughts and insights on the topic of discussion - art and humanity
Lots of sentences were hard to wrap my head around, but then that could also be me reading this while exhausted
Again, I like the writing style

Very comforting, reading this was the best time I had today

INSANE!!! THE BEST THING I HAVE FOUND, I AM SO HAPPY! I LOVE SEEING THE DESIGNING AND IDEAS BEHIND THIS

It’s almost like a lovely coincidence that the section I read today has the information I need the most right now. Stopped to comment on how interesting it is that Carnegie “never [likes] to give examples without using names and street addresses”. I can’t imagine that happening today, but he’s really given the full name and exact house number of so many people in this book so far.

Just read through the principles for successful application of these methods, I’d like to start implementing them more actively! I did already plan on reading this book many times after I’ve finished!

Going well!

Returned to reading! Going quite well

Reading a bit during daytime to ease my worries

Today I thought about the contents I’ve read so far, very valuable. I plan on reading this a few more times once I’ve finished it!

Great practical advice!

Again, powerful words, solid evidence which fills me with calmness and motivation. Finished the first chapter.
I feel like this book could also be read in the mornings, to start off my day with a positive energy.

Beautifully written, concise and powerful words. Lots of things on ponder on and remind myself of throughout my days.

Just started reading this book, I like it a lot!

Don’t think I like it much, apart from what I’ve already said, all of this could really be condensed into a shorter booklet. I have seen the same phrases repeated over and over, it was motivational for a few moments yesterday, but not anymore.

I guess this also links to gratitude, “celebrate the good feelings”, which I do find to be effective to some extent. Should do it more
