It was a quick easy read, I just found it a little underwhelming compared to the hype. 

It did bug me that
in every life except her “root life” she was something *big* - international rockstar, Olympic medalist, philosophy professor married to the hot doctor with the perfect family. I don’t know. It just perturbed me a bit…  🤷🏻‍♀️ To me the messaging is against living a simple, peaceful life.


It has some similar messages as “Anxious People” (which I also read very recently) and I just much preferred that amusing/funny perspective.
