Thought provoking essays

Reviewed in Australia on 30 June 2019

Thought provoking, " mature" , written in a perspective language sometimes yet beautifully done.

Definitely recommended for a lot of "soul" searching.

The title should give the hint. This is hard work and at times contradictory which makes it hard to keep engaged. Ended up choosing some of the essays of interest.

Lots of great advice – but ends up being quite superficial with 4-page long chapters on average.

I'm not sure whether this book was a mistake, or one of the best books I've read. On the one hand, it does not have a main idea or contention that's backed up by several chapters of detailed discussion, and instead feels like a collection of short blog-posts regurgitating basic self-help advice (that I've mostly heard of) – which, in my opinion, does not constitute a proper book. However, I feel as though the author is nudging my life towards a positive direction each time I turn its pages, and that I tend to be happier and more mindful on the days where I read this book.

I suppose I've just listed the (perhaps obvious) pros and cons of a book titled with "101 Essays..." My main doubt is that this book, like many ordinary self-help books, have given me doses of spiritual highs without leaving considerable lasting impacts on my life. I guess I'll have to wait and see. Just after finishing though, my impression is that this book packs a large quantity of self-help advice, but perhaps wasn't enough overall for me to justify its price.

Trivial and Plain

By essays, they are actually list of points with very little in-depth thinking. And the book is composed of 101 such lists, mostly rephrasing and repeating the trivial.

Nothing revolutionary or will open your mind. It may make you feel like you have some clarity while you are reading it but I doubt it will "change the way you think".

I LOVE this book. I saw this as a recommendation by YouTuber Jenn Im, and I'm so glad that I read it. Each essay is its own therapy session. I even told my therapist about it, and it's helped me so much more than I can ever put to words. With a lot of positive reinforcement and references to Buddhist meditation practices, it's the perfect book for someone who wants to improve their mental health. Every essay is so well-written and perfectly summarizes the do's and don't's of your emotional and mental well-being. It's 100% worth the read. No doubt about it.
