Such a wild read. The depiction of mental illness (the kind where you deny you have one) is so on point and speaks to me.

Highly inspiring. I was worried it was going to dive into some macho drivels, but unexpectedly, Goggin’s made himself very vulnerable while dispensing the wisdom he gained from facing all kinds of suffering and a lot of those are the ones he invited.

The pacing is off because it feels as if the first two-third of the book should be one book, while the rest should be another.

Interesting series overall that touches themes like discrimination, racism, and forgiveness.
