It’s one of those books that goes fast. I’ll probably finish it tomorrow. It’s a tragic thriller and looks to be a romance, too, although one of the main characters is creeping me out with how forward he is toward the other main character. It’s hardly enough to make me want to stop reading, though. The whodunit aspect is suspenseful!!

Fantastic survey of the rhetoric that draws us into groups. Amanda Montell is a talented researcher and writer.

I loved this book. It is a great mindset to learn in this modern age of heavy outside influences, to see yourself as distinct from others in a way you may not have considered. Though I was familiar with Adler from studying mental health counseling, I have a much deeper understanding of his work now, and I believe it is important—more meaningful to me than that of Freud and Jung.

I’m almost there. I’m going to finish the book first and then go back and review it to find what I can use. I’m so glad I’m almost done.

Slow going. I hate not finishing a book, but it’s just a tedious one. I have to use the stopwatch on my phone and start a new lap with every page to stop myself from reaching for my phone. 37 pages to go.

I’m learning a lot from this book. It can be a little dry, but I’m enjoying it in small bites—@15 pages a day. I like that it gives me a lot to think about terms of my goals, the means by which I try to achieve them, the perspectives(e.g. Should I focus on commitment or lack of progress?) that are possible to take, etc. I recommend to other readers that they write short summaries of each chapter as as they go.
