4.5 // i went into this with the idea of lin singing me to sleep, not realizing it was going to be such a powerful book with such strong messages. this was probably not the best book to pick up as an audio (although it does have lin narrating it which is phenomenal as expected) because it seems at least to me more like the type of book one would keep on their bedside table and read a part of either day. with the audiobook i feel like i just binged five hundred different motivational messages all set in the same format which was quite the shock to my system. regardless of that fact, i would most definitely recommend this quick read, i am sad i wasn't able to see the illustrations :(

So fun to listen to him like he's just talking with me. Short poems and pep talks that are refreshing

Definitely better as a book than audiobook, but I appreciated how cute and diverse the tweets were.

This is a collection of some of the pep talks that Lin uploads on his Twitter twice in a day; one in the morning and one at night. He collected some of those tweets, in what he also considers as poetry, sayings and aphorisms. The collection are all illustrated by Jonny Sun. •

I first became aware of Lin's tweets from Twitter where some of my friends RT'd his greetings. Some put a smile on my face, some brought me the necessary energy to get me through the day, and some put me at ease at the end of a really disastrous day. Then I heard that the some of those tweets are going to be put into a book and boy, was I glad and happy. •

Whether you see this as a collection of poetry, or a self-help book, or if you're going to use it as a pick me up in which you open it at random to see what words of encouragement will be flying to you on that day or night, it is your choice to make. What I can tell you, this is one of my best buy of 2019. •

The first time I read the book, I read it from front to back, noting down the pages in which I love the most. Later on, I will use this like a magic 8 ball. In the morning before work, after work when everything feels so bleak, or whenever I feel like everything and everyone is being difficult, I go consult the random page and see the words worked its magic. •

You don't have to understand poetry or to have to be in a foul mood to consider this book. This is a book that I think you can enjoy at any given moment of your life. Totes recommend this. •
