not as devastating as i thought it would be
maybe im just numbed 

I mean, it felt very "Daisy Jones and the Six"-ty for me, and it also had precise and aesthetic "photography".

boooooring

critisighs's review :Feel Good Productivity isn’t ground-breaking. It’s nothing new. Books like Atomic Habits and Deep Work are so good because the author is giving their fresh perspective. In this book, Ali Abdaal simply regurgitates ideas he’s learned from others. I went into reading this book thinking I’d find some new insights, only to find the same information from his YouTube videos. 

This book is just Ali Abdaal in print form. He mentions how he struggled with writing this book, and it does show, especially in the second half. You can tell that this is his first book and that he’s more YouTuber than writer. He knows how to differentiate himself on YouTube from other productivity content creators, but he’s struggled to do it here with Feel Good Productivity in the self-help genre. 

pues eso

Empezó súper impactante
Pero luego hubo como 7 testimonios que me perdieron un poco por el camino 

También es que es raro "starear" o dar la reseña de las experiencias de otras personas 

No sé si soy mala persona por "poner nota"  a los traumas de otras personas (reales) 

No sé qué pensar

desgarrador
belleza

injusticia y dolor 

música 
✨fuckin 2a persona✨
adventurous challenging dark emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense fast-paced

demasiadas emociones
me han llegado al alma, me han hecho sentir tantas cosas todo el rato
Podría decir 10.000 palabras más sobre este libro, todos sus mensajes, temas, conflictos y enseñanzas, pero también siento que no sería suficiente
ha sido increíble

Jooooooo
Me da rabia
Igual lo intento en otro momento 
Pero no era engaging enough la verdad 
Culpa mía 
Pero es que no estaba conectada con la trama
funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

sooooooo helpful
and funny
and enfuriating

i loved the prespective and the "to the point"ness of the book

it made very precise and nuance points and gave the important, summarised, digestible information
