I’m re-reading this book — it’s a quick pick-me-up when you feel purposeless or bleak about where you are in life. It helped me understand that life is often a boring ordeal, and what truly matters is the repetition of those same boring tasks or routines that eventually lead you to what you want. There’s no escaping the boredom; instead, the book makes you accept it and think more intentionally about how those small routines should look so they can compound into something greater later. It’s better to choose tiny, impactful habits than destructive, draining ones. Overall, it’s a good gift for any young reader who is just beginning their reading habit.
