Definitely my favorite read of August, and maybe of the year! I listened to this book during work, and boy does it grab your attention. I made so may bookmarks in my audiobook. I might just grab a physical copy from the bookstore to make those notes physical and have for future reference.
The content is easily digestible by the average person. You do not need to know much anything about psychology to understand it, but it would give you a bit more understanding. There is no particular target audience, I would say. Maybe those who want to learn more about themselves and the human mind and emotions.

While written in a style that is easy to read, great for picking up and referencing, it will make you think about yourself...whether you wish to or not.

Really enjoyed this! I want to reread it soon to try to make more connections between the different concepts explored. This book also taught me the importance of annotating while reading - I felt like I was much better able to connect to the material and take away big ideas. Great way to reflect on the ways that emotions and experiences show up in our lives and what they can tell us.
