🔽 Book review and notes 🔽

It's not a usual self help book, it's not easy to read, a quite demanding guide which forces its readers to familiarise with the philosophical thinking.
So the midlife crisis is real, and inevitable, but you can live with it by changing HOW you think about your life. "What I could have had" is usually not better than what you've got.
But it does give practical guide, like how diverting your focus away from results and goals, from actions that have ending, but turn to actions for actions' sake and enjoy them.

And of course what is self help without Buddhism and meditation.
