A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life

Average rating3.6
I think this book should be read to expand/challenge ones flawed thinking in regard to success or what makes a “good life.”
As a Christian, many of the author's ideas disagree with my own, but I found others helpful, nonetheless. I firmly believe in absolute truth and my own definition of a successful life is closely tied to my study of the Bible. I think this author is coming from a different belief system.
That being stated, I often struggle with guilt and shame over having disappointed my parents. The book helped me rethink the way I define successful relationships. By redefining my matrix as it relates to my own children, not my parents, I was able to let go of a huge burden. I now have a better understanding of how my previous matrix for success was holding me captive to a false identity and not allowing me to fully enjoy the amazing life I do have!
Obviously, the book contains multiple f-bombs, but at least we were warned right there in the title.
