The Urban Monk: Eastern Wisdom and Modern Hacks to Stop Time and Find Success, Happiness, and Peace by Pedram Shojai

2.0

too esoteric for me. every chapter starts with how terribly everyone is living, and that takes up most of each chapter before concluding with 'take this herb' or 'meditate' or other dumb shit like 'get earthing sheets' (?!!?). look, we get it. stressful jobs and poor choices of entertainment after work aren't healthy. you don't have to keep repeating the same scenario with a different person's name EVERY chapter. it took me forever to finish this because i was uninterested most of the time and having to pick it back up took effort.
