The Courage to be Happy

A disgruntled with life person comes back to renew his arguments with a philosopher after three years of trying to live his life based off of their previous conversations.
The first book brought it. This one, not so much. I did like that it went deeper on certain aspects of the topic, but something about how it was done got to be a bit monotonous at the back end of the read. It also didn’t quite match the simplicity of the conversation style done previously. That style slapped the reader with a few powerful words while this one repetitively tapped.
TWO QUOTES THAT CAUGHT MY EYE:
“In other words, we are not creatures who are determined by past events. Rather, we determine our own lives according to the meaning we give to those events.�
“Though it may be putting it harshly, it could be said that one is getting drunk on the cheap wine of tragedy and trying to forget the bitterness of an unfortunate ‘now�.�
A QUOTE THAT MADE ME THINK OF THE MOVIE MYSTERY MEN:
“The past does not decide now. Is your now that decides the past.�
THREE CHOICES TO KEEP IN MIND MOVING FORWARD:
“That bad person.�
“Poor me.�
“What should I do from now on.�
Three stars to a book that was not as awesome as the firstborn.
