Appreciate the push against toxic positivity and how these people are actually setting themselves up for failure because they aren’t really the learning how to deal with negative feelings. 

I already operate within a similar philosophy to him. My resiliency is top notch and I’m really good at telling myself I can do things even if they’re hard. When I read a self help book I rate it based on how much I got out of it. This was a pretty good book but it felt like an evening at the bar with your friend who is really good at giving you advice you don’t want to hear. I didn’t get as many actionable approaches as I would have wanted. I’m also a data/science girlie and this was just advice. Now I can see how this would be immensely helpful if you need a kick in the pants to get a jump start but I am not one of those people. I already kick myself lol. 

The ending is the most impactful. Forces you to look at mortality as a way to stop procrastinating and making excuses so you don’t have regret
