very listenable hard to internalize

This makes you feel valuable as a human in a way that doesn't embellish or inflate, and presents the case to being nice to yourself.

The author presents some of the concepts we all "know" in a way that is objective and tangible.

I'll admit I can't really find a takeaway from this. A better title for this book would be "Why to be Your Own Best Friend"

I'd recommend this to a friend. I'll probably listen to this again here and there.
