Redundant and minimally useful - Returned

Revisado: 12-12-24

I got a very small amount of value out of this book amidst a LOT of hard to listen to, extremely redundant and repetitive information. I was so frustrated with listening to it and not hearing anything uniquely helpful that I had to stop.

What I learned:
-What makes a decision good or bad is the variables and overall positioning of it, the outcome is separate because you ultimately can't control it. i.e., you can make a good decision and have a bad outcome and vice versa. Instead of trying to guarantee an outcome you can't control, the book is supposed to help guide decision-making that increases your odds for a better outcome.

The book helps with this by going so, so much further than pros and cons of your choices and actually overwhelms with enough similar but ever-so-slightly different layers of categorizing and multiple-choicing that it felt like I was being taught to overthink my decisions to exhaustion. Narration was mind-numbing, not engaging and the repetitiveness of words, statements and scenarios was not helpful. SKIP!

I wanted to love this book but couldn't continue

Revisado: 11-14-22

I love the poetry in this book and how incredibly it is performed. I personally had to return this title because I found it a bit too triggering and intense with respect to suicide and other sensitive topics (eating disorders as well.) If you are not in a good head space, I would not listen because although the writing is beautifully visceral, relatable, and descriptive- especially for those of us who have had similar experiences, it can be extremely triggering and disturbing with respect to certain topics. If you are in a dark place, it will underline and intensify feelings and ideations you may be having. There may be brighter, more encouraging pieces in this book, but I didn't make it to them because I had to stop listening. Just a fair trigger warning that somehow isn't reflected in much or any of the other reviews.
