Eventually you will see that the real cause of problems is not life itself, itâs the commotion the mind makes about life that really causes problems.

I canât say I agree with the author here. In fact, I think this line is a gross oversimplification. While people can absolutely overthink things and make mountains out of molehills, the claim that the mind creates every problem is simply untrue. The world absolutely has problems, and pretending that it doesnât isn ât a solution at all.
Iâm hoping the author meant something more along the lines of, âHow we react to problems can potentially create more problems,â but thatâs not what the writing is saying so far. I have a feeling thatâs where itâs going, but weâll see.
I also canât say Iâm a fan of the preachy narration, but thatâs a very minor point and easy to ignore so far.

DNFâed at 9%.
I am not the target audience for this book. Phrases such as, âYou will come to understand,â âEventually you will come to see,â and âIf your mind became your roommate, you wouldnât last a dayâ were near-constant, and I disagreed with most of them.
Perhaps others can get more from this book, but alas, that person is not me. 1 star.
