This a cute, uplifting book. You can't help reflecting on your own life when you read it. It's a very interesting concept but it can be a bit didactic. The ideas the author is trying to convey are a bit on the nose at points. I wouldn't say it's a must-read for everyone but it's certainly an enjoyable book

Love how it connects to shifting, like the main idea of multiverse and how you can explore and experience

but still go back to your "root life"

The idea is great but it did not do it for me. I found it too repetitive and some chapters were really unnecessary. But overall the message was good.

I flew through this book really fast. I think the message was powerful, moving, and inspiring. The beginning is very emotionally difficult to read, though.
