Platitudes put forward in an unpretentious way
This is a wonderful reflective source, with wisdom articulated in an unpretentious way. Unlike many 'self-help' gurus, Haemin Sunim is a Buddhist monk born in Korea and educated in the US, and he practices what he preaches.

Offering advice on everything from handling setbacks to dealing with relationships, he combines his teachings and translates them into simple messages. And while much of his advice are things that we may be aware of but dont necessarily put in place, it's laid out clearly in a non-obtrusive way. A pleasant read.

Wonderfully honest and refreshing
Very rarely do we see such an honest glimpse of depression, a hideous and insidious condition that affects a large part of the population. However, Matt Haig's self-help book crosses over into the memoir genre, in which he speaks about his journey through the depths of his anxiety.

It is brutal at times, especially when he speaks about contemplating suicide, but it is ultimately hopeful. Although not everything will resonate with everyone, the main factors are similar across the board, and it allows you to gain insight into other's experiences of the illness. A surprisingly good read.

"Actually, a great book is Billy Idol's book (Dancing With Myself). I don't consider it a rock memoir, though. That guy is such a deep figure. It's a deep, self-searching book about his life, his motorcycle accident and just all the crap he went through. I knew that he wrote it himself without help and that really impressed me. I know Billy a little bit. I really look up to him. I was hoping that it was going to be good. It was. Right away, in the foreword, it seemed he found his writing voice."
