This book hits at the right time for me. The core idea is simple, but the way Mel explains it makes it feel practical and doable. She lays out the process clearly, and the framework really does make you pause and rethink how much energy you spend trying to manage things that are never yours to control in the first place.
I also liked that she brought in science to back up her points. It keeps the book from feeling like another self help idea floating around without any grounding. You can tell she cares about making the reader understand not just the what, but the why.
The only part that dragged a bit for me is that she repeats herself in a few places. But if you have ever watched Mel speak, you know that repetition and enthusiasm are part of her style. She is a high energy person. That energy shows up on the page too.
Overall, the idea is excellent, the book teaches the process well, and it gives you something you can use right away. It is one of those rare personal growth books where the takeaway is simple enough to remember and strong enough to actually change how you move through your day.
