I've been a very big fan of Zach Levi, and this was a revealing glimpse inside his inner world.

Something that he mentioned in this part-memoir / part-selfhelp book (the chapters are entitled as advice such as "Ask for Help" or "Forgive" or something similar) that made me pause was, "You are deserving of grace."

And while I agree that love and kindness are vital to human beings just as water and oxygen are, grace by its very definition is underserved -- isn't it? It's why its iterations in love and kindness mean so much more. Perhaps he meant it a different way, but that sentence tripped me up.

(Edit: So I looked at the meaning and  -- in Christian belief -- grace is the free and unmerited favor of God, as manifested in the salvation of sinners and the bestowal of blessings.

But grace can also mean "courteous goodwill" which makes a lot more sense. He and I may have different understandings of it afterall, but this book is peppered with God so much I thought he might've meant it in the more religious way.)
