I wouldn’t say I loved this as an enjoyable read. I think it’s very well written and has a lot of good nuggets if you are willing to dig for them. Took some pushing to get through, mainly because it’s not my normal genre. But in the end it had a lot to say about life. The main lesson: we search the world for things and neglect the treasures we possess at home

If I were to summarise a moral I take from this book: Always have a dream or a goal you want to achieve, and even if you don’t reach it or experience it, what you’ll learn on the way will always be of value.
