This book left me way happier then "Gudetama: Surviving the Holidays" did but that honestly comes down to timing. Gudetama talking about mindfulness feels Poignant as the Pandemic continues to go on and on. As well as with the state the world is in currently. Gudetama has some great advice on dealing with others on the internet, even if they are family.

What I didn't like, was the specific call out to not take time when you are overwhelmed at work to practice mindfulness. Especially when that level of stress can in reality make you much less productive than you would have if you had just taken that time to reorientate and center yourself would have.

Props though for the use of the singular they. I got butterflies reading it. It still feels incredibly rare so seeing it used here felt awesome.
