it was amazing
bookshelves: 2024, dull-jane

A disgruntled with life person argues with a philosopher about life shenanigans.

I appreciate the hell out of the authors for presenting the information the way they did through a conversation between two people. It makes a complex thinker of a topic easier to digest. It gives a reader who wants to argue for and/or against the wisdom being shared (I argue to understand more, thank you very much) exactly what they need, a person doing the arguing for them.

THE QUOTE THAT SPOKE TO ME THE MOST:

“When one seeks recognition from others, and concerns oneself only with how one is judged by others, in the end, one is living other people’s live.�

Five stars to a book that was exactly what I needed at exactly the right time.

So true!
And I laughed at your comment about arguing to understand. I don't need an argument, and frequently I need a discussion.

That is exactly what I need too! I am a talker, and I always want to talk it out.
