I didnt like it for commute and as audiobook ..

she has very strong ideas that are convincing partly very novel and captivating .. but i dont know if an audiobook is a good medium to convey this ideas .. its more like a compendium you come back to at times .. on the commute it was just too much input. too hard to chew and about ..

This has nothing at all to do with essays.

This is a semi psychological book about how to change you're life. The title is completely misguiding!

Hatte etwas anderes erwartet

101 mal “sei dies und das, aber sei dabei du selbst”.
Fühlt sich an wie eine langgezogene Brigitte Ausgabe, absoluter Fehlkauf!

Subtle brainwashing

they opened up by praising Yuval Noah Harari, which is unacceptable from the get go. instant red flag. then go on to form some decent ideas. but at chapter 77 I really had to put my foot down. obvious globalist and leftist propaganda. they mixed it in well with truths, to sound more credible, but mostly it's misleading in a huge way. be very careful with what you take as true from this book.
nice voice though.

boring to hell,

its just a compilation of "inspirational quotes" you see every where. saying just enogh to get the new be existed. jet not enough to help learn a new mindset that might be helpful.

Ugh

Leider sehr enttäuschend. Ein Haufen pseudo Weisheiten, ab und zu ein paar sinnvolle Sätze aber der Rest ist teilweise kontraproduktiv.

Unspecific

A previous review already mentioned it: this book is basically a collection of inspirational quotes. But unlike some things that actual famous people said, like Emerson or Chanel, who are on top of their game and specific to their game, this is just empty and random. Your time is likely better spent by going through the website of inspirational quotes.

Almost every section boils down to “you need to do xyz”, but does not go more specific.

B.own away!

Pushed of reading the book for a long time as I have read enough self help etc to not feel psyched about it. In the end, I trusted the recommended enough to give it a try.

Jesus Christ, this was so good. No idea why it wasn't on my radar. Never have I paused an audio book to take notes or just think and ruminate about a thought for a few minutes. Some of the stuff resonated so deeply with me, I thought about it for days.

I am blown away, my life has been significantly impacted by these essays. Thanks for putting them together and sharing them!

Don't miss this book!

I loved every single page of this book.
Will read/hear it over and over again! a must have!!!
