While the reflections and some specific passages resonated with me, I wasn't a fan of the writing and the format.
It's written in the form of short stories — each chapter is a specific moment in the author's life along with a reflection from that story. The first half was pretty strong and I was really hooked because there was an overarching narrative but after that, the short stories felt too disjointed for me to enjoy.
I rated it 3⭐️ for the first half of the book. I think it was marketed as a memoir but it felt like the first half was a memoir and then the second half leaned towards self-help.
