A Nice but Not Life-Changing Read - Book Review

A Book That's Nice but Not Life-Changing

I stumbled upon this book at a thrift store and thought, why not grab it while I'm at it? The books are basically seasonal items that are no longer in stock, so I figured it was a great time to pick them up. I had a rough idea of what the book was about, but I didn't think I'd actually get around to reading it slowly, especially during the holidays. That eye-catching cover, though - it just had to be tried.

The book has a table of contents, which makes it so much easier to flip back and forth if I need to. And the intro is great because the author lays out the purpose of the book right from the start.

What really caught me off guard was the inclusion of scientific facts and research. I didn't expect that at all - it makes the book more of a resource than a light read.

It's actually pretty interesting how some shows would depict characters drinking to stimulate viewers' interest in alcoholism. It's not a certainty, but there's definitely some truth to it.

I used to think facts were more valuable than memories, but not always - and not everywhere. It's crazy how some memories can be useful.

The illustrations throughout the book are great - simple, yet they don't overwhelm, and they actually help to relax and engage the reader.

I made an album for my daughter from 1 to 5, and it's crazy how much you start to notice changes from the first year. It just gets more and more intense as they grow older.

I disagree with some things in the book, even if they're just minor details. For instance, I remember cheesecake being on that list of words.

It's actually kind of funny how something that's bad can turn into something great over time. I'm glad I wasn't around back then, or I would have had to go to school all over again - and I actually enjoy learning.

There are plenty of colorful pictures in this book, which makes it even more enjoyable to read. Although, I have to admit that I found it a bit cheesy, like the old books from my parents' time with pictures in the middle of the book for no apparent reason.

The exercises and tips in this book are plentiful, and they're separated out nicely. Although the songs in here don't really work for me, even though I know all the ones that everyone else knows - they seem timeless, you know? They're just passed down to the next generation. I've got my own songs, of course, but they're not exactly happy ones - they're more like sad ones, but I don't really dwell on that. When I put the music on, the mood just shifts and I'm good.

One piece of advice that I wish I'd heard a long time ago is about remembering people's names. I've always struggled with that, unless I see someone regularly.

Some of the tips in here are definitely interesting, but not always the easiest to follow. This book might actually inspire me to try my hand at writing, although I know not everyone has that kind of talent.

I'm a bit surprised that they didn't include an example of a 'video trap' - you know, when your wife shows you a video of some beautiful woman cooking and then asks you what color her socks are? I'm not a guy, but even I don't pay attention to that kind of thing - I just don't see the point, right?

I was surprised by some of the things in this book. I thought this effect was called something else, but there's a common opinion online that it's not just a case of 'forgetting' when you move from one place to another. If you've watched Doctor Who with those long alien clippers, you'll know what I mean.

The tips are good, but not all of them are for me, and definitely not for the modern world. It's great to get rid of clutter and distractions, but there are words like 'need to' - and often it's someone else's need to, not yours. For example, you might need to tell or share information with a parent's group chat so everyone can catch up, or you might be stuck in a work chat that's blowing up all day and night.

My sister uses this chapter almost word for word to remember her days and marks them with a marker according to her mood.

It's just obvious - memories are memories. I usually get stuck on something because of this, even though it's worth letting go of.

They mentioned the Mandela effect, but I don't really agree with their take on it - that it's a false memory.

I've experienced so many little things firsthand, even if not all of them were my own, but my husband's or my kid's. Some of them, definitely. With these tiny details, you could write a whole book. Thanks to the book for the idea.

This advice isn't foreign to me, even if it seems like it's all about being original to spice up your mundane daily life. Maybe that's true for some people, but I love creating something every day, no matter what my mood is. If you don't feel like it, you shouldn't do it.

So, what can I say in the end? The book is 50% what I expected, 25% material I already knew, 10% decent advice, 5% not-so-great advice, and 10% something new for me. It might help and inspire someone more, but it's just too simple, like a morning blog post, hastily written on so many pages. It's easy to read quickly and understand, written in plain language. I won't re-read it, but I'll keep it in my library, just in case my family wants to read it later.
