After the first few pages, I felt like "okay, cool, this is a pretty good message." But then I feel like it was repeated so many times, ad nauseam, just stated in different ways. It would have been much better as a longer essay.
Moreover, I feel like the message is tired. It's a message that's been shared widely. Additionally, it's tired because it's written by a white male with a limited worldview, in spite of his experiences. I feel like the author really, really likes himself and wants other people to like him too.
I think anyone who is beginning to work through issues might find this helpful. Someone who doesn't read a whole lot will think this is gold, and that's fine. But this is pretty much on par with Rachel Hollis to me.
