The book is a collection of essays that seeks to change your perception of your life as a result of your cognitive biases. The general message is to seek purpose above passion, embrace fear, recognise the wisdom in daily routine, and not define success based on what society deems to be acceptable.
The book is not entirely all essays. It has more listings. How to know you are on the right path, how to feel good about yourself, how to know you are an emotionally smart person, things you should be grateful for and so on.
I have mixed feelings about this book. It started off really very interesting for me. I kept marking phrases that made me think, "Wow, this is fantastic." This is something I could absolutely benefit from. However, as I progressed, it became increasingly repetitious, especially at the finish. To the point of annoyance, to be honest! It could easily have been 200-250 pages. Now it's around 427 pages long!
However, the book definitely offers some excellent lessons, which I have shared on my KZfaq channel. I'm going to share one of my favourites from the book;
"When you dream up your perfect life, you think about how you're seen, rather than what your daily tasks include" Read that again.
