F Dying

Life's full of turning points and I gained so much positivity from this book because of the author's decision to live a more fulfilled life after suffering a heart attack. The writing is so simple that it's more conversational. It does not feel so polished that you cannot relate to it and I reckon that's why I reacted to it like I did.
Thank you NetGalley for the eARC. We all need some inspiration and this would indeed shine a light on someone out there.

I really enjoyed reading Dan's story, about his successes and struggles, and hope that a lot of other people will read this as well. Thank you for the opportunity.It was a great read!

I had no knowledge of the author prior to reading this book. It's a motivational self-help book. Not a whole lot is said here that's all that different from every other self help book out there. What makes it different is the author. I see other reviewers criticize him as a narcissist who's full of himself. I don't agree. At least not here. He does reference his successes... it's a book about him and his journey. So reference to his success is needed to see "how far he fell" and what he overcame.
I actually was pretty surprised how open and honest the author becomes. There's a lot of personal things shared here. There is also a lot of repetition... of his accomplishments as well as of the points he tries to express. A few times this became a bit overly repetitious, but overall I thought it was alright. I believe it takes reading or seeing the same thing a number of times for it to really be learned... so he says many of these things a few times. I also believe that different things will speak to different people so saying the same thing a few different ways may serve to get his point across.
I think this is a good book for a number of reasons... it shows male vulnerability, pain, hurt, love and emotions in general. More of this is needed. I also like how short it is with very simple and easy to understand chapters and lessons. The appendix were also good... not necessary to read, but more in-depth information on gratitude and meditation with explicit, easy instructions.
