This has to be one of the best non-fiction and audiobook experiences I have had in my short reading life.
This book feels like watching John Green on YouTube. It feels like a conversation with a friend. It's so incredibly intimate and yet knowledgeable. It's filled with panic-striking ideas and yet bubbling with optimism and logic.
When John Green discussed his anxiety, I felt seen and connected. I remember thinking, "Finally, someone gets it." I think that pretty much sums up my feelings about the book. John Green gets it. Not everything about this book is mind-blowing, but it is very human. And that's a good thing.
