Actually, looking with knowledge I will see no mention of Christian

I really need to check books better. Christian books are NOT for me!

So obvious and ridiculous and dull

What am I listening to? This is not what I was expecting

I’m about halfway through the book. It feels like I’m reading this woman’s justification to keep gossiping. I’m not relating or understanding what the book is supposed to be

Eek! This is awful! Prostitution

There might be good points but this book is bothering me right now - chapter 4. Right now the author is listing out what, as a parent, feels like a frustrating impossible list. Does he really expect society to just change like this? What is the point of this list?

Multiple mispronunciations of chutzpah are irritating me although I’m wondering what the spelling might be in the book

“Reading” this book on podcast with Michael Ian Black

Partway into the story and I wish I remembered more Huck Finn

It’s probably because it’s audiobook but I ask so tired of the “re”

I’m halfway through the book but it feels a bit blah.

I already read Shawshank
I finished Apt Pupil and boy was it disturbing but well written

I like the compassion and perspective taking

P.263 this is ridiculous
“If simple habits (like eating Whole Foods, getting enough sleep, practicing regular movement, and managing stress) are so transformational, why do so few people consistently perform them? If these simple actions made people so happy and healthy, why aren’t we all doing them?”
Because they’re not actually simple to execute!!!!

Yuck

There might be truth here but this book is lousy so far

Oops. This is book 2. Downloading book 1.

I’ve barely started the book but it sounds like the author is going to solve all medical problems with “good energy”. That’s ridiculous. But I do still believe there are issues and maybe there will be useful hints mixed in with the oversized promises

I’m about a quarter through the book and wow! It’s good and the audiobook is well done.

The frequent use of f— takes me out of the world. Something about the book is also a bit blah.

When I started I didn’t realize it was part of a series

I think I should stop reading memoirs

I’m getting aggravated because I think he is oversimplifying at times and it’s feeling patronizing

At thirty eight percent the story had turned into a controlling company and is ridiculous and meh

The corporate Big Brother and electronic privacy concerns are a bit anxiety provoking. Fifteen percent into the book it’s just too real

What gives society its power?

The relationship in this book is disturbing! Just because you forgive doesn’t mean you have to dance with the person you’re forgiving!!! Just because you’re “ugly” or overweight doesn’t mean you’re evil!! Yuck!

I don’t think he understands auto insurance and I don’t think all of his advice is sound

I’m about a quarter of the way through this book and it sounds like the main character didn’t have sex for a year because she was a senior citizen at age 51. I hope I’m misunderstanding
