Lightweight feelgood literature that turns the question "Why am I here?" into a strange, bizarre, esoteric, far-fetched exceptional question and then tries to reinterpret it as completely natural, normal, object-worldly, obvious one. Let me put it this way: In triple speed, the very slowly narrated audio book lasts a little more than an hour. And at the end you think a bit more than before that it is worthwhile to ask yourself existential questions from time to time and to make sure that you develop your life in the right direction. Why this had to become a worldwide success remains unclear to me, unfortunately. After all, it is literarily not significantly worse than the other usual suspects.

Dieses Buch was in fast jeder Hinsicht eine Enttäuschung: Von der aufdringlichen "Moral" und dem plattem Schreibstil, zu den einfältigen Charakteren. Es vermittelt das Gefühl als hätte ein über selbst-reflektierter Esoteriker die Idee gehabt, welche dann von einer Drittklässlerin umgesetzt wurde.

I picked this book up on a challenge. A friend said he might have a book for me that I would dislike more than I dislike The Midnight Library. Now that is a challenge I couldn't pass up, since I thought it highly unlikely to be true.
Lo and behold this travesty of a book. This book is trying to "help you" understand how a happy life can be achieved. It offers you a helping of on the nose stories, told in grade school level prose, covered with trite, insufferable plattitudes. It treats the reader as an absolute imbecile. I cringed my way through this, repulsed by the simplistic views and "solutions" the author hawks.
Avoid this book if you have a shred of good sense. I clearly abandonded it when picking this up.
