More quotes from the book:
“Life isn’t simply made of the things we do, but the things we don’t do too”
“We have all these metrics that we try and reach. When really success isn’t something you measure, and life isn’t a race you can win.”
“Sometimes just to say your own truth out loud is enough to find others like you”

“It is easy to regret, and keep regretting, ad infinitum, until our time runs out. But it is not the lives we regret not living that are the real problem. It is the regret itself. The regret that makes us shrivel and wither and feel like our own and other people’s worst enemy”
“While we are alive we always contain a future of multifarious possibility.”

“You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life”
“I think it is easy to imagine there are easier paths…But maybe there are no easy paths. There are just paths.”
“We spend so much time wishing our lives were different, comparing ourselves to other people and to other versions of ourselves, when really most lives contain degrees of good and degrees of bad”

“Want” is an interesting word. Sometimes if we fill that lack with something else the original want disappears entirely.
Sometimes regrets aren’t based on fact at all.
You can choose choices but not outcomes.
Never underestimate the importance of small things.

“Between life and death there is a library, and within that library the shelves go on forever. Every book provides a chance to try another life you could have lived. To see how things would be if you had made other choices…Would you have done anything different, if you had the chance to undo your regrets?”
