I absolutely loved this. I recommend reading this in one sitting, slowly, and really actively engage your imagination. 

I so enjoyed this. I'm really happy to have listened to the audiobook read by Gad himself. I cried no less than three times. 

TLDR: Wasn't for me, but the advice Wilson gives could be great for those who may need the advice, but can take it in while thinking critically about what is being presented.

I put this book down around the 25% mark after skimming the final 75%, due mostly to nitpicky reasons. I love the idea of this book and I think the 10 characteristics he listed are great. However, I do think this book would have benefitted from additional editorial rounds--not for trimming content, but to allow for broader dialogue and deeper scrutiny of its advice and anecdotes and to challenge some of the contradictions before publication.  Also, I've never liked the tone or style of works in the self-help and/or advice genre so I should have known that I probably wouldn't enjoy it here. That's just personal preference though, so whatever. I'm keeping the door open to revisiting this in the future though. 

DNF'd not because of anything wrong with the book itself, I'm just not in the mood for it.

Technically this book is just paused for me--I have every intention of picking it back up when I am emotionally ready. I'm just not in the right space for it right now. I made it half way and it is a fantastic read and I'm learning so much about the process of crossing the boarder from Mexico into the USA that I never would have known otherwise. Harrowing. Unfair. Arbitrary. An incredibly valuable read. 

The experience of reading this is going to live with me forever. It’s works of art like this that make me happy to be alive. Masterful.
