This book says a lot of interesting things about abandoning the judgemental self, essentially practicing stoicism with your play and not assigning humanity to aspects of your game.

Part of me wonders if people can tell coaches who've read this book the same you can tell people who've read How to Win Friends and Influence People. If your coach just watches you and doesn't say anything you can feel pretty confident

"Hiyah! Thirty years I have been a pioneering heart surgeon, but my son is the one who gets all the attention--for his bloody clothes!"

This is emblematic of Kwan's writing. Why he's so allergic to writing regular dialogue kills me. The Ah-ma dialogue he wrote about "knowing someone by looking at their face", he was really scratching the surface of something great but then it was back to normal.

Finally have my GOAT audiobook flow and yet this book is still a supreme letdown. The Michael and Astrid scene was all I was waiting for and may have been the worst written scene in the book.

“He smiled mysteriously” like?? Your wife found out about your affair? Your family is likely broken up? Couldn’t believe that line

Me finishing this book is supreme sunk cost fallacy

Yeah this def an audiobook type of book

There are so many nuggets in this book. I question myself when I say things like "she's actually hilarious". This is someone who grew up around comedy writers and adults her whole life. Really makes you question your views on kid actors.

Love the Toronto shoutout.

5+ miles ev other day and a half marathon 2x a week is insane.

The Chip bit and

The rhythm did in fact get her

made me lol

This book has some of the craziest real lines you’ll ever hear. “I learnt about shaving my legs after a costar of mine’s mom made fun of my hairy legs.” Like??
I think the little woman’s dinner that girl’s family does when a girl gets her first period is beautiful and something I’d like to do when I have a family someday

“The Creator” wow, really good way to mentally prepare us for DS, stark contrast to the rest of the book. I highlighted his first mention because I’m so scared of how this might go

This book is funnier than I expected. Cool insights into child acting. One thing I hope this book has changed is the reliance on child actors “not being difficult”.

This is the first book I’ve ever done the audiobook synchronously. Only way I’ll complete this 50 lmao I’m breezing through this. Oh the book. Interesting thus far, not as dark as I thought to be honest. I’m really scared they cover Schneider

There’s a sequence that just passed that I’m like 80% sure is in a movie. Will have to find which one

I have become an infantophile

What context could possibly be required for this 😭

”Niggas in Macauuuuw” Bernard exulted, raising his arms rapper style.

I really have put up with a lot in this book but yeah, calling it here

I get the feeling no one has ever told Mr. Kwan “show, don’t tell” in his lifetime

Justice for all IT professionals doomed to a life of repairing their relatives technology.

I think the choice to make Astrid, an amazing strong headed character deal with her husband's affair like this is purposeful. I look forward to seeing how this resolves

An Asian man (from the perspective of an Asian woman) writing the ‘Rachel and Nicholas’ chapter is certainly a choice. Having that be the origin of our love interests in a romance novel is also certainly a choice
