Oh boy. This book is a tiny mess. So many contradictions, my favorite being “Sitting is the new smoking... but you should totally sit around more....” Also, meditation isn't really Niksen, but maybe you should meditate more! Too cutesy, scattered and half thought out.

Gotta love as well how almost every self-help book goes on a mini-tirade about how “society is completely bombarded with self-help books! It's hard to know where to turn...” Whatever you do, maybe consider not turning to this book.
