Greta is so cool.
All these speeches can be found online, but great to have them in one place. Crazy how long she has been preaching the same things, and it still feels like not much has been done.
I am no expert, I don't know.
Just glad we have Greta.

I didn't like the ending. But it's good. Depressing, but good. And a quick read.
Good book that attempts to summarize Myanmar/Burma. What a complex, culturally rich, and interesting country!
It was written one year before the military coup and helped me a lot to understand the tensions that have been going on. With this background knowledge, I can now better understand the current situation.
Thant Myint-U himself was (/is) very involved in the political happenings over the years, he therefore is not totally unbiased, but gives a great overview.

A must-read for everyone who interacts with people and wants to be happy or make others happy!
I not only understand now how I feel loved better but also how my partner, family, and friends will feel more loved and appreciated by me.

I learned about nonviolent communication as a child from my mother, who placed stickers of positive and negative emotions on our living room walls, for us kids to learn the words to express our feelings. These stickers hung around for many months and were curious to visitors.
As a teenager, I gave workshops about Marshall B. Rosenberg's communication style to my classmates and members of various volunteering organizations I was part of.
While I think I was still unconsciously applying many of the principles over the past years, I learned a lot of new and old ideas when reading this introductory book.
I so wish that the techniques of this book become more widely known because I think the world would be a better place if we all start acknowledging what is alive in us and others and willing to express our needs and fulfill the needs of others if we can.
Please read it, if you haven't done so yet :)

(read it again after 2 years. Definitely recommend reading it twice)
Great read! I recommend it to everyone in their twenties who wants to live a good life.
Here are quotes from the epilogue that summarizes the book well:
"The future isn’t written in the stars. There are no guarantees. So claim your adulthood. Be intentional. Get to work. Pick your family. Do the math. Make your own certainty. Don’t be defined by what you didn’t know or didn’t do. You are deciding your life right now."
"And years of listening closely to clients and students tells me that, deep down, twentysomethings want to be taken seriously, and they want their lives to be taken seriously. They want to know that what they do matters—and it does. There is no formula for a good life, and there is no right or wrong life. But there are choices and consequences, so it seems only fair that twentysomethings know about the ones that lie ahead. That way, the future feels good when you finally get there. The nicest part about getting older is knowing how your life worked out, especially if you like what you wake up to every day. If you are paying attention to your life as a twentysomething, the real glory days are still to come."

This one was important for me.
It got hard to read sometimes because it seemed to just reiterate the same points. But still very informative and interesting!
A super empowering book showing that in an extroverted-orientated (western) world introverts have not just the right to exist but are also crucial in driving change and having impact!
I am excited! Please read it regardless of whether you consider yourself an introvert or not :)

I hated the suspense and wanted to check later chapters or ask Google about it. But waiting was worth it. Loved the book!
Is it mean if I don't talk to my white German friends again before they read this book?
This is a must-read for everyone in this country who thinks about themselves that they are not racist.
I am also sad I lived in happy land for so long and really hope to stay out of it for the rest of my life. Being able to chose to live for this struggle is a crazy privilege. I have to make use of it!
