loved it D:
but not quite that much thinking now.

I've read some reviews from people I do consider their opinions and realized that... I do agree with some 3 stars comments about the book.
I enjoyed the audiobook narrated by the author herself, and now I've realised that was because it's undeniable similar to her TED talk, but in a more detailed way.

And MAYBE, once I'm one of those persons that quite not understand the WOW and confetti trough in Eat, Pray, Love, so anything different from that, written by that woman that I might enjoy, surprises me.

One of the reviewers mentioned that she is not one of those persons who write fiction so she does not have any right to defend creative thinking. I can disagree now because I've read City of Girls, and it is kind of a fiction book, even though, has no dragon, other worlds or anything like that. But she should try one day write something in that genre. Also, because I think you need to be creative to know how to put one-word-in-front-of-another that makes any sense and captivate the reader, and seduce them to enjoy your ideas.

This book is quite similar to Austin Kleon's books. But, against all odds, I've enjoyed Gilbert's narrative better.
