101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think

A huge list of positive but overwhelmingly shallow advice.
It seems like a fountain of lists for social media posts about self-help. It is useful, but sadly, not very insightful.

Repetitive and nothing new

I really enjoyed this book at the start then it got boring for me around Essay 65 and was hard to finish. I've read alot of self-help books in the past so I could just be over this type of book. 

I can't hold this against Brianna, if someone came to me and said “Hey, I can take your collection of Medium articles and publish a book with them and you'll make good money from it”, I'd hop on board too.

That being said, these should have remained blog posts. These aren't even full essays, most of them are listicles and many are repetitive. This is a bed side table book that's meant to be read in bursts when you're feeling overwhelmed or need a little bit of a pep talk. If you try to read this like a novel, you're going to want to die a little.

Overall, I think the marketing for this book is the main issue.

This is a book that I think I will actually PURCHASE and flip through when I have a few moments. There are individual essays that I would like to revisit and digest more slowly than an audiobook allows for.
