Helped with my evaluation of events in my life. I find books like this help me to look at my life with fresh eyes, the book itself wasn't life changing but it helped me to take stock of my actions and the actions of those around me.

Unlearn là một khái niệm rất hay. Mỗi người chúng ta, trên hành trình phát triển, cần phải unlearn những pattern, những ý niệm đi sâu trong đầu và open cho những góc nhìn mới.

Nhưng cuốn sách viết rất dở nha, khó hiểu, lỗi 1 đống

Good messages but preachy. Prefer self help books that teach thru the authors experiences.

Unlearn is an Excellent read, I enjoyed every page of this book! Heartfelt, honest, and poignant. I read “don’t sweat the small stuff” alongside this book, and while they are both ultimately trying to achieve the same thing (help people better themselves), I think that Unlearn does a phenomenally better job. I basically dog-earred and underlined the whole book (judge me if you want lol). I look forward to reading it again, and seeing what new insights I can glean the next time. Also I’m looking forward to writing my own chapter, I think it’s so sweet that he includes space for the reader to do so - it’s very humble, which is apt. By doing so, he’s acknowledging that everyone has something unique to offer, and that he is not above the person reading this book. He also encourages the reader to send him their chapter once they have finished, and gives his email. I think he’s a really special person for writing this book, and I will treasure it always!

Unlearn is short and easy to read. Halfway through the book it felt very repetitive. It was full of recycled life lessons, inspirational/motivational sayings that we've all heard before. Not all of the quotes were as thought-provoking as I had hoped. This book could be read cover to cover or picked up every day for a dose of positive reassurance. I will be using the chapters as journal prompts. After finishing this book I found myself asking “What did I actually learn/unlearn”. The answer is… NOT EEEE B*^£? ASS THANG! #3Stars
