This just wasn't a great fit for what I want to be reading right now. I remember reading this author during college classes, and that's how reading this felt to me now - like I had to be in that academic mindset, like some parts are dry and a little over my head. There were definitely insights that I took away from it, and I liked seeing personal anecdotes, but I just didn't overall enjoy reading this.
