Not a bad book. However, it was a lot of essays that said nothing new. Some were lovely and thought-provoking, but few. The title stating all 101 essays will change the way I think is hyperbolic, to say the least.

It’s packaged so you can’t browse inside before buying, and after reading, I understand why.

This was the first book I ever regretted spending money on so much that I threw it straight into the bin.

The essays weren’t essays at all—just shallow, Instagram-level posts that offered zero new insights. Nothing grabbed my attention or made me think in a fresh way; it felt more like cheap filler than genuine writing. Save your time and money—this one just isn’t worth it.

At some point, it did become more of repetitive. Love life, be healthy. It is like buying 101 signs of Live Love Live, on different wordings but does have the same end game. It can be more of a pinterest poster that you bring in a Starbucks run, ordering the most niche coffee or tea.

Seemed to get repetitive, but great at first!
