I was never allowed to read Harry Potter growing up. I'm reading it for the first time now at age twenty-two.

This book is obvious written from the view point of a conservative. My views on political and religious ideas differ from the author greatly, but taking this book with a grain of salt, it has been a joy. I've found myself in the Library laughing and giggling over the good natured humor and pondering more serious thoughts with delight. This is a worth while read so far and an entertaining one at that.

"You're story is that you're depressed. Chances are pretty good that even though it feels awful, when you feel awful you don't have to work hard or do the laundry or go to the gym. It also feels very familiar and cozy and comfortable."

Whaaat? B****. Did you really just say people choose to be depressed because it's cozy?? Do you know anything about depression?

It may be time for me to leave the world of self-help books. I'm not enjoying this one. Sure, there are a few motivational ideas, but it's mostly hot air. Good thoughts mixed with unproven or even disproved theories. Strikes me as written from a place of privilege, with the assumption that everyone else has that same privilege.

I'm loving this book. It's interesting to see how such importance figures in our society are human beings like the rest of us. She's such a great writer and I love Michelle Obama's story. It's a must read in my mind.

I like that one. my therapist actually recommend it to me and it's good.

about 23 pages in and it's already the hardest read of my life lol

I enjoy this book. I would rate it three stars. A few solid ideas in here. I may reread it after I'm done.

I got use to reading academic material and now the gender exclusive language keeps throwing me off.

Horrible book, but I'm still going to finish it.

When you read a textbook for fun...

Have you ever been in school and gotten twenty five percent done with your paper until you realize that's all you had to say. You go back and make your paper extra long by adding lot's of filler. That's what this book reminds me of.

The first half of this book is pure amazingness

Easy enough read.

My required reading from Doc Moe is always some of the best. This book hasn't fallen short.

I'm not clicking with this book, but it is a required reading for my capstone class. whatcha gonna do?

I feel deceived by the pluck and pull theology I was taught about women my whole life.

If I could make everyone read one book, I think​ it would be this one. Both men and women should read this.

It is starting to disgust me that people have used the Bible countless times to shove their views of gender inequality down my throat.

My life consists of school, work, and reading. When I find a good book that gives me insight to another world, like this one, I get excited.

I like this book, but I have never disagreed so much with a business author.

I prefer this book to his other book 10X. It's a book that help you focus on your goals more than a book that teaches you. Good stuff.

Back to reading my self help finance books. This book is all about the mind set that a successful person needs.
