I'm not mad at it. I got it for free on Kindle unlimited so I didn't expect much. If you take the time to write down the actual prompts and answer them fully and honestly, I think this actually has some great actionable steps. That being said, I would have preferred a format of a series of blog posts for this one.
There were SO many typos on the ebook. Also, if you're a self-help book lover, you're not going to find any new ideas in this one.

This was a disappointing concoction of common knowledge, useless advice, and patronising narrative. This book was so desperate to point out how it wasn't like other books that it didn't manage to achieve anything at all and was full of errors, repetition, and contradictions.
On several occasions it points out that 'mental toughness' and 'resilience' are not the same thing, however goes on to use the terms interchangeably. It was so overly repetitive that had it been concisely written, I doubt it would have amounted to much more than a 50 page read.
Some of the advice in there was useless and patronising, very literally telling me that if my goal is to lose weight, I should resist the junk food and lose the weight.
The biggest red flag was early on in the book and I really ought to have put it down. It described the enemies of mental toughness. One of these was 'laziness'. For a self help book to tell me that my problem was 'laziness' was factually inaccurate, insensitive, and had no place in there at all. Laziness is a symptom. NOT a personality trait.
And if a repetitive, patronising, word vomit of contentless drivel wasn't enough for me to hate this... It has spelling errors and some typos.
So I suppose this is true... It isn't like other books, as they have some semblance of usefulness.

I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone who struggles with any type of mental challenges, even burnout. This book isn't the type of book you want to finish in a weekend, but one you want to take your time and truly apply to your life. This is a book I will definitely be revisiting often.
