Nie dało się polubić głównych bohaterów, zarówno Roberta, jak i Amelii, poza tym zakończenie trochę przekoloryzowane i naciągane. Na pewno jednak sięgnę po inne pozycje autorki, bo lubię jej styl pisania.....more

Important and valuable read that gave me a lot of insight into not only the Alzheimer's disease but generally people's lives with dementia. It's rare to be able to understand this from a perspective of a person who suffers from Alzheimer's and not just the caregiver or family. This book will stay with me forever.....more

Dosłownie można w ten sposób podsumować ponad połowę tej książki! Ostatnie kilka rozdziałów wreszcie coś zaczęło się dziać i w ogóle lubię styl pisania Klaudii Muniak, ale to chyba nie była moja ulubiona pozycja autorki. Czegoś mi brakowało.. Mimo to oceniam na 3 gwiazdki....more

Lots of practical advice that can be Great explanation and breakdown of how our good and bad habits are formed in the first place - very eye-opening. Lots of practical advice that can be easily implemented in your everyday life. Interesting view on the definition of success and instant vs. long-term gratification. There was a lot of references to sport or celebrities habits and even having an assistant do sth for you or your personal trainer, which I had to do an eye roll while reading this, and the 1 star is taken away for that reason. Overall, this book is highly recommended to anyone on a path of self-improvement!...more
