"There’s no law against asking strangers about their lives and feelings, although sometimes it really feels like there is. This is the kind of thing I want to read all day long, on every aspect of life (and there’s more, Terkel collected oral histories on race, the great depression, movies and plays, etc.)"

Whoa. As a girl with depression and anxiety, this hit me hard. I loved this book. There were compelling characters, with multiple flaws, relatable situations, and an amazing plot.
I admit, Wallace was a bit of a douche near the end, and that pissed me off, but, like he apologized, so it's fine I guess.

Loved it
I loved this book!
Definetly my must read book of the year! I would recommend this to everyone, especially those who have suffered from any form of depression, loneliness or anxiety.
I found myself laughing, crying, laughing and crying again. I could relate to a lot of what I was reading.

"A documentary about free climber Alex Honnold that set my household on fire with questions about ambition, selfishness, discipline, existential depression, and the value of human attachments. Equally wondrous and horrifying, the film asks difficult questions about the value of near-impossible pursuits, and doesn’t seem to know the answers. I appreciate the searching."

"At first this book first gives you a ‘reader’s digest’ version of how the world leaders really were. That’s interesting enough. But it goes on to show you how the brain works when a person is depressed, and how to overcome it. It is fascinating and full of important information. I kept reading thinking “great to know the other side of our leaders we didn’t know.” But then, in the end, there is a surprise! It shows the current scientific findings of the link between depression and empathy, we knew only as a moral and idealistic trait. Now it seems they found a point of brain that corresponds to empathy, scientifically, which is connected to depression, its cause, and also as its cure."

Makes you cry and makes you smile.
A wonderful kids' movie that went way deeper than expected. What was expected to be a light-hearted, funny movie, turned out to go into some very mature themes. It talked about grief, depression, and letting go, but still, has the funny comedy to go with it. Definitely, check it out.

This book is an enlightening read, making you think about subjects or feelings that you might normally find uncomfortable. The general theme is around depression and suicide, but it is handled well. The 4 different character perspectives made the story feel a little thinly spread and may have benefited from being from just one or two perspectives.
