    I canceled reading it after 50 or 60 pages. It felt dusty and predictable. I also remember the language to be kind of prophetic, like it has something important to say, while failing at doing so.

    The book might have proven me wrong, if I finished it. Who knows.

      Don’t think you have. If memory serves me right, it’s about being mindful and focusing on what matters, but wraps it in a ridiculously artificial “spiritual” setting.

      This book is to literature what Instagram inspiration quotes are to poetry.
