challenging emotional hopeful reflective fast-paced
Liked this better than I thought I would. Had more implementable points than I expected. Still felt a bit shallow but I think that’s mainly because I listened to the audiobook and I did not like the peppy tone & cadence of the Reader. 
I’d like to read the hard copy version.
