4.0

"Success is not a goal to reach or finish line to cross, it is a system to improve. An endless process to refine."

This is a great book for anyone wanting to understand how to set goals they can actually achieve and keep effective habits. As someone with experience in goal setting and changing habits, I found that some of the things he listed were things I was already doing. I had never thought about the science behind it, however, so that aspect was really interesting.

I also enjoyed the way he made things so easy to understand and broke them down in a way that anyone could implement into their lives. I would recommend this to everyone because who doesn't want to improve in some aspect of their life?

I liked how realistic this book was and I actually appreciated the way it ended. No fluffed up happy ending, but a truly believable story.

This book was great! It helped boost my confidence about writing and made me excited to create. There were so many great quotes and pieces of advice that I found myself highlighting more than I normally do in other books. This will be a book I revist as I continue on my writing journey.

I have had this book on my TBR for years now and I finally see what all the hype was about. I loved that there were so many unexpected twists, it definitely kept me on the edge of my seat waiting to find out what they would do next. The beginning was a little slow but I guess that's expected for the world building. It got better and better as it went along. I'm so glad I have Crooked Kingdom already so I can find out what happens next.

I appreciated the humor throughout the book and the story overall was interesting. There were some slow parts and little tales that I felt didn't have to be included, but for the most part I enjoyed it.
