Live More Think Less

I really liked the 1st half of the book, especially the train exercise. Here's what I wrote when I had to return the book to the library, “Probably the most important mental strength book you'll read in your lifetime. Improved my efficiency and life satisfaction exponentially. Hopefully you heard it here first.”

When I finally got access to the book again 3 - 12 months later, I read the highlights, and didn't like the rest of the book. Besides the train exercise, it is probably sufficient to contemplate the concept of “acceptance”. As the book says, life is suffering, and all the things you've struggled with continuously over the years aren't going away. Stop fighting them, and focus on the real work ahead.
