Reading about teleology and how this book so flawlessly explains this philosophy has been a great eye opener. It forced me to confront my flaws full on. There is no escaping, no excuse, I am fully accountable. As scary as it sounds, it also emphasizes on viewing shortcomings as simply lacking courage. It does not imply that you are a failure, it does not make you feel unworthy. It purely drives healthy self-reflection followed by gaining the courage to change. Personally, this book did not undermine mental illnesses. It helped me view my depression from another angle. It gave me insight on how to make use of life’s tools instead of focusing on what I’m given. It maintains a healthy approach to past trauma and unpleasant situations. More importantly, it gave me hope. I am finally free from self-imposed restrictions I set on myself. I am no longer limited to the idea of “this is who I am because I have gone through A - Z”. It has shifted my entire perspective ever so gradually but in a lasting and powerful manner. This book gave me a journey unlike no other and I am so glad I found it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
