About this listen

Over the past few years, Brianna Wiest has gained renown for her deeply moving, philosophical writing. This new compilation of her published work features pieces on why you should pursue purpose over passion, embrace negative thinking, see the wisdom in daily routine, and become aware of the cognitive biases that are creating the way you see your life.

Some of these pieces have never been seen; others have been read by millions of people around the world. Regardless, each will leave you thinking: This idea changed my life.

Was expecting more from 10 hours but feels like a regurgitation of popular wisdom and pop psychology

Lacks depth

I like the book but the narrator sounds a bit robotic and puts me to sleep when I'm driving and listening. I wish the author actually performed it because of the nature of the text.
Also it's less suited to an audio book and more written due to the fact that the 'essays' are more like lists. I like the content and they encourage action but you can get lost in the numbers and what that specific one is about especially in the audio form.

Performance let me down

I love the content of the book and the ideas, but the numbering got extremely repetitive and annoying at times.
I wish the book was an actual 101 'Essays' and not 101 chapters with 101 bullet points of ideas, even though they were valid.
I still would recommend it though to someone new to the field of self development and self understanding.

too many numbers
