Great book - had me hooked from the first pages, when i randomly picked it up in a library. Got it as a gift a week later - and it didn't let me down. I had my assumptions about the plot unfolding, but I still enjoyed every single page. And i love the fact that it brings awareness to the whole phenomenon of putting serial killers on a pedestal - when we should be thinking about the victims. I recommend this one!

Amazing ideas! We are time, we cannot master time. We must learn that life means compromise - we need to choose what to focus on. And we must accept our finitude. Great book - and some good advice that I've been already applying in my life. Not just a self help gimmick, but actually a book with fresh ideas - ideas that go against the current productivity craziness. All the toxicity from our work lives, all the pressure. If you're trying to control each moment of your life, this book is for you.
