I have heard about Humble the Poet and wanted to read his work. He wasn't what I expected, but also I wasn't really sure of what I actually expected. To be transparent this book didn't resonate with me. Thats ok. I know someone who would whole heartedly. His poetry however did resonate with me, his poetry is vulnerable and raw. The ingenuity in his poetry is what created a connection for me.

Truly an inspiring book!

A bit cheesy in parts but generally a good read.

I had hit a slump in my reading lately so I picked up a few books that I normally wouldn’t have. I liked the title of the book and have always enjoyed hearing others stories so I picked it up. I am so thankful I picked up this book. I enjoyed how the book was laid out, the honesty, and the messages of “it Is ok to feel not so good emotions, just don’t get stuck there”. This one will be added to my shelf for reminders in the future when I get stuck.

“If anything, the more we learn about ourselves, the farther we may find ourselves from the rest of the world.” Page 86

I persevered till the end wanting to read when the author found his humility, alas I was disappointed. For someone who prides himself on being “humble” the author does go on about his own social status and life as an artist as being somehow superior. His disregard for his past mistakes as not being his loses smacks of a superiority complex.

I looooved both of humbles unlearn books, this one just simply didn’t speak to me. Unfortunately I found myself not relating, and there were a lot of personal experiences from him that I just wasn’t able to see form my eyes. Humble is still an excellent author, this one just wasn’t for me. I still love his other two unlearn books and will probably buy his next :)
