this book is shelf-help at its corniest. This book has been so hyped and talked around but apart from the “edgy” title, it is quite hollow. It covers everything under the sun with the optimism and style of a motivational cat poster and that's where it ends. The book has no actionable steps, no indication of any research to support certain claims and hardly any case study that isn't anecdotal or taken from personal life.
There is only one central theme: if you hate your life and it sucks only you can make it better. Not bad but some of the “self-focused” things she suggested is downright inconsiderate and mean.
Skip this and pick up Atomic Habit or Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck and you're better off.
