Wow.
The ending monologue of the book really sold it for me. Those verbs are yours. They always have been, you can live them just because you can. The simple things that life has to offer, just the feeling of breathing and knowing there’s a whole system in your body responsible for taking care and filtering that air. When your brain is screwed up, it really is hard to like the other parts of life since you process the information through your brain. This book was beautiful. I feel like the author went in my brain and pulled out my thoughts himself.
I recommend this to anyone and everyone.
Live. Live. Live. Live. Live.

I read this at the right time.
I could really relate to some of the stuff here. It was very accurate for me.
It was super hopeful and I felt better after reading it.
I really liked the extended metaphor with the maps.
I didn't like some of bigoted stuff.
The writing style was simple and the book was very easy to read.
