Self-love is the balance between accepting yourself as you are while knowing you deserve better, and then working towards it. For some people, working a nine to five job and coming home to a family may be ‘mediocre’ on a grand scale - yet still extremely satisfying by their own standards. If you manage convince yourself that you have high self-esteem without actually having anything to prove such status then this can be considered a ‘delusion’. Telling people ‘if it feels good do it’ sounds liberating on the surface, but what it also implies is ‘if it doesn’t feel good, don’t do it. Love how the author has written out this book with the proper example which makes it more understandable.

If you've ever been to a race track, if you know anyone who likes to bet the horses, if you know anyone with a self-destructive passion, if you enjoy colorful characters, or if you like to root for the underdog to have just one good day, you will love this book. if someone says they’re hurt by your actions, you must believe they’re hurt; you can’t decide for them whether or not they felt hurt in the first place. Combine this with the message of ‘deserving better’ and ‘unconditional love towards yourself’ you end up with the likes of the ‘fat acceptance’ movement – essentially people who have deluded themselves into self-love and inaction but feel victimised by naturally negative social feedback to their appearance. Outwardly, it manifests as aggression towards behaviour deemed offensive, however the very reason it’s considered offensive is because they’re avoiding a reality that can shatter the delusion. Not sure why I completed this book, probably because I was hoping that there will be something great in the following pages.

For example, if you had to pick between two new bars and you could see that one was packed while the other isn’t, you’d assume that the empty one sucked and the popular one was much better! When this happens, it can be easy to let other people’s needs take precedence over yours—but if you don’t set boundaries around what’s okay for you, others will continue to take advantage of that generosity and exhaust you. So much is going on, and there is literally so little time to register all of this overwhelming information. I’ve been following him on social media since last year after I came to know him through Divya (Henna By Divya) and have heard his podcasts infinite times.

I LOL’d a lot and now I have the urge to see the movie AGAIN (and I want to go to Monmouth Park next weekend!

I feel like my vulnerability when sharing my experiences, encounters and feelings on my platform has provided a voice for a lot of silent souls who couldn’t be heard before, or couldn’t express how they felt. I'm struggling in chasing happiness but when I read this book I just realized that it's just within me. Nobody is motivated to go for their scheduled run every single time, and even during the runs that they are motived for, it’s still not a ‘feel good’ experience.Think positive things about you achieving your goals and the Universe will bend over backwards to make sure it falls into your lap". The book is an easy read, but misses some deeper explanations, it is overly simplified where the author has some utopistic claims. Overall, I feel it’s a great book for beginners, especially those people who need quick help and are not avid readers. We can see this mentality manifest in unsuccessful people who spend much of their time consuming motivational material (like this book) in hopes of boosting their sense of self-worth, yet never seem to progress towards their goals because they never do the work that’s actually required to excel in their endeavour.

I think these things will make a considerable difference not just to me, but to the world as a whole. A straightforward look at the history and the art of maintaining courteous communication in an increasingly divided world. When it comes down to it, setting boundaries isn’t about hurting anyone else—it’s about taking care of yourself first. I also liked the fact that the author has not belittled the impact of these things but has rather discussed the situations which he faced in his life and how he dealt with them.
