Commentary/review

One of the books I started listening to in order to fall asleep, yet continued. The book is oddly informative for a guide on surviving death camps that it is. I also find interesting that the Author, who is a rather uncomplicated person, was able to pull out a book that is perfectly constructed, highly motivating and absolutely brimming with a sense of hope and belonging. One just starts believing in the words which, on the surface, sound either cliché or absurd but in fact may become useful if applied without prejudice. It seems that just a moderate degree of humility, self-reflection and a whimsical propensity to have fun can make all the difference in life-threatening situations. The book will probably make you responsibly enjoy your life as it is so why not try it out.

Also, another proof that Oprah (the book’s main supporter) probably did more for promoting reading culture than the Holy Inquisition.

The cover is a but “meh” but suits the book in a respectful and uncomplicated way. I approve.
