I meant to write a review when I first read this book, but I'm so glad I didn't. Five months later, I've read it again, and — like all the best books, and especially those imbued with timeless wisdom — it has landed even more deeply this time.
This slim volume is written with the big heart and crystal-clarity that I have come to associate with Yeo's writing. It deals with profoundly complex principles that, for me, often ring true in the moment but quickly disappear into the ether when life inevitably seeps back in. But through Yeo's storytelling, and his distillation of large concepts into pithy and relatable shorthand (and always, always, with those unforgettable graphics), the ideas are woven together into an all-encompassing ecosystem that just instantly resonates.
And so they stick. They are also delivered with a warmth and a generous humility that makes the book feel less like a lesson and more like one of those magically unexpected conversations that immediately shifts how you move through the world.
This book has earned its permanent place within arm's reach. It will never gather dust in a closet, but instead remain ready to remind me — as it did today — of what I most need to remember, exactly when I need to remember it.
