101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think
by Brianna Wiest
informative
reflective
slow-paced
While 101 is a really marketable number, I felt that there was an excessive amount of repetition throughout this book. The number of essays could have been cut in half and I wouldn’t be any the wiser.
This book doesn’t not translate well into audio. If given the choice, I would read a physical copy over listening to it so that I could select what order I read the essays in, so please keep that in mind if you decide to pick this up.
On a positive note, I found a majority of this work humbling and thought-provoking, which seems fitting as a book meant to change the way you think.
Out of the 101 essays, 5 of them really stuck out to me on a personal level:
Essay 2: The Psychology of Daily Routine
Essay 40: Why Logical People Lead Better Lives in a Generation Where Passion is at a Premium
Essay 64: The Most Taboo Thing in Our Culture is Radical Honesty—And That’s Exactly the Problem
Essay 71: 18 Little Reminders for Anyone Who Feels Like They Don’t Know What They’re Doing with Their Life
Essay 91: The 15 Most Common Types of Distracted Thinking
If you want to really evaluate the way our society thinks and are looking for ways to improve your own thought patterns, I highly recommend giving this a chance.
