First of all: it really do not have enough reasons to have 400 pages - repeat after me: this could have been an email.
Also, bruh, some of this is we’re DARK. „Some of you won’t make it through your 20s, some even won’t by the end of the year. Keep a skull on your desk” - excuse me???
DNF, some of those were simply annoying

This is not a book to breeze through. I read this in short intervals with my journal beside me, not to lose any noteworthy thoughts. There are so many great prompts here! Disagree with her take on passion though. This book also becomes repetitive. I’d consider it entry level to the reader in the self help space/genre.
"...human beings are the only species that have relationships with themselves through other people. That is: Our perceptions of other people’s mindsets largely dictate how we see ourselves." My favorite sentences in the whole book.
This is 101 short essays that focus on love, happiness, and emotions. These essays are largely lists. Example: 15 Ways to Deepen Your Relationship with Anyone. and they it lists and explains those 15 ways. The advice in the book is subtle differences to how we see things. Example: I have to pay bills (negative thought) I get to pay bills because those bills provide... (positive thought) And happiness in internal, not external.
Nothing in the books is new or revolutionary (unless you have never heard these things before), but it's presented in an easily understandable and digestible way. For me its worded in a deeper and more profound way than I have heard before. Instead of just stating these facts, Wiest also touches are why this is difficult and on external influences that pull us away from happiness (I translate her use of happiness as contentment)
My wife has told me that she has seen a change in me since reading this book. I asked how. She said, " you are better at dealing with negative emotions of yourself and others"

Repetitive. Also, telling people they are stronger for the bad things that happened to them doesn’t sit right with me.
