hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

This had similar treads to Becoming, but was also distinctly its own. The angle of this book is very conversational and engaging. At times it felt a bit repetitive at times. I appreciated the overall topics, but found the specifics to be verging on pushy at times. It had a significant self help feel, which works for some and not for others. For me, I took some and left some, where it didn't speak to me. Audiobook is the way to go.
