I liked it a lot and it feels like it has a lot of interesting/challenging things to say, but that I'm not necessarily ready to hear them yet because my brain goes into an anxious loop of "I... do agree with everything you're saying, but I REALLY DON'T WANT TO, and I really don't know what to make of that and 'now what'". That said, it was for sure interesting food for thought and it did give me ideas and insight about how I could try to make my days work better - not because it gives plan of any way, but because it allowed me to take a step back and see the problem differently. It would definitely be a 5* if not for my own anxious relationship with time which made that book pretty challenging for me.
