challenging reflective slow-paced

A Great book for those who are interested in weather life has meaning or not, and if not should we live it? But it does require to go and search for the references that he makes which makes the reading slow paced, in short it requires you to do a bit of work to fully get a grasp about its ideas.

Not an entertaining read, but entertaining is not what this book tries to be.

The Myth of Sisyphus is an essay on loving your boulder, loving your struggle, and finding value in everything you do, regardless of your own perceived futility or worldview. An essay on the absurd, and utter defeat that suicide constitutes. An uplifting and inspiring work.

Translated from french and written with a prose of the past, this essay is not blood curdling adventure, not in the typical sense, but it is a plunge into the mind, the mind that belongs to you, and that of your peers.

A text that ushers hope and perseverance into any mind that is willing to comprehend it. The Myth of Sisyphus is a triumph to all who wish to fight another day.
