I’m not sure what I expected but there was a lot of science in this book which wasn’t what I was expecting from a self help book.

The chapters are shirt and packed with information, just I think for someone looking for information on the science of how the brain works.

Sorry this wasn’t for me, hopefully it’s very helpful to someone else though.

The content is not what I expected. I didn't expect it to be leaning more in science because it is listed under spirituality. Some parts are motivating though the science part overrules the supposed purpose of this book.

I'm not sure if this is the kind of book I would read. I mean, I requested it; but the content wasn't for me. In short, it wasn't my cup of tea.

However, this book is without its merit: it contains some self reflection exercises to be filled so that we could actively search within, not fixated on the outer world.

The cons for me would be on the writing itself. There are too many ellipsis and it's too woowoo to be that scientific, and 'too scientific' to be woowoo.

Matt Spencer's "You Are Now" is like a GPS for your wandering mind, complete with witty commentary and a dash of humor.
