Anyone who has spent any time around me lately already knows this. The heat, the work, the vacation-less weekends have seriously gotten to me... and not in a good way. I've been borderline depressed, and it really depends on the day as to which side of that line I am standing.
So, it will surprise no one that while at Schulers on Friday night, I picked up a book that intrigued me. Yes, it was considered a "self-help" (of course it was, you're thinking), but this book is unlike any self-help book I have ever read, and quite frankly it's a train wreck and I can't look away.
"If you spend twenty years trying to get something and you still don't have it, is it admirable to keep trying? Or did you pass admirable several miles back and it's getting close to straightjacket time?"
This is his take on the losing weight mindset.
He covers every subject imaginable, and even some you don't ever imagine.
But you sit and read about it anyways. Because you can't stop reading once you start. It has more common sense than a book should have, and is absolutely a book that will put things in perspective.
It's not for everyone. But if you've ever had a bad day, a life trauma, a question about life, you might just find what you're looking for here.
His honesty is a breath of fresh air... even in the middle of the hottest summer in Michigan's history.
