I think as personal lessons many of the things that Randy had to say are meaningful. It sounds like he truly lived an amazing life, one that he worked hard for, and at multiple points he made me cry despite his generally positive tone. I wish he had gotten many more years.
I wouldn't say there was anything groundbreaking here, but the stories felt full of important little truths - loving your family, looking on the bright side, persistence. Its a book well worth the read, and the words and stories flow incredibly well.
I guess his kids are nearly grown up now, if I'm right Dylan should be 18. I wish them all the best. The clearest thing in this book is his love for them.

This spends a lot of time on facts that I think most people who are motivated to read this book would already know. It made it a less interesting read for me, but something that I'm more likely to try to recommend to others. The points about connection and continuing stories such as the Epic of Gilgamesh felt true and meaningful, and overall it was a really good and well-written book.
Content Warnings
As with most collapse content, I don't recommend reading if you're not already collapse aware and you struggle with depression/mental health. If you're struggling with mental health *because* of collapse, I would recommend.

Nearly every essay is hard hitting and there's multiple that I keep thinking of regularly. Many of the narratives and truths here are also almost entirely missing from my previous perception of the world, so highly recommend.
