Overall I really liked it. I enjoyed the focus on systemic issues and how it's missing the point if you're berating yourself as though it's a personal failure.

That being said, the author definitely comes across as insufferable and holier-than-thou in the early chapters. That perception fades pretty quickly into the book, but starting off with a smug anecdote about being on your phone slightly less than, and yelling at, other people isn't exactly charming.

Again, overall very good and gave me lots to think about!
