Quite honestly I can’t stand only a few books that I’ve read, recently The Awakening by Nora Roberts.
Holy crap, do I reallllyyyyy want my money back. I was bored. So. Bored. The magic system was subpar, the characters just….ew, everything was so, so boring. The MC is an idiot.
What book is a zero star read for you?
Jordan Peterson’s 12 Rules for Life
Sophomoric, moralizing tripe that feeds our worst impulses under the guise of “manning up”
Just garbage
I think any self help book is going to have things in that are useful and some that are useless and those are going to differ from person to person.
I found some of it useful to be honest and rolled my eyes quite heavily at others.
For me Rule 2
And that chapter were worth reading the book for on there own.
In that one he talks about how people end up actually getting more prescriptions filled/ checkups attended for their pets than they do for themselves.
For me that really resonated and since then I made sure I’d booked my eye test, got my dentist appoints re booked and made sure I filled my meds on time!
