To be able to overcome the struggle that you are dealing with, at any stage of your life, you should be able to understand the process that got you there.
These quotes may not solve the problem but will help explain some part of it, either before, during, or after the dilemma.
The book has been divided into two chapters. The first chapter contains the quotes that I have come up with on my own. Even if they’ve been said before by other people, I haven’t heard them (at least in this format) from any other source.
The second chapter contains words of wisdom from other people—some well-known, and some not.
Some of these quotes are in line with my own opinions, and some have been included based on the fact that they have beautifully been said, even though their factual concept may not be completely accepted.
By going through and thinking about most of these sayings, some of the important uncertainties in life can become less uncertain.

THE SECOND CHAPTER CONTAINS WORDS OF WISDOM FROM OTHER PEOPLE—SOME WELL-KNOWN, AND SOME NOT.

The introductory page was extremely powerful and enticing, encouraging a reader to move on and the points made regarding the process of overcoming struggles and how to make better sense of how a person finds themselves in their current situation were spot on. I enjoy the fact that the quotes used are realistic, often in books like these the quotes are very light and fluffy, and whilst this can work for the reader, it's refreshing to see a different approach being used. I think many who benefit from tough love would enjoy reading Ali Zokaee's work in this novel. There's also an element of humour throughout this book which I loved.
I really like the idea behind this book and the collection of both original quotes and sayings from Ali Zokaee as well as famous quotes. I enjoyed the fact that the book was concise and easy to read, which I think is perfect for this type of genre which provides motivation. It is clear that a lot of time and effort has gone into producing this book, however, there are certain aspects that let it down such as minor grammar and punctuation mistakes. These are minor but are a bit too frequent and had to re-read certain sentences to try and make sense of what was being conveyed.
The structure of this book could do with slight improvements, such as organising quotes into different sections perhaps, with a chapter for each section. I thought there would be more quotes from well-known people of wisdom and was disappointed to see only a couple of pages. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, I think it's lovely how a large percentage of the quotes are by the author, but the introductory page may be slightly misleading by stating that the book has been divided into two chapters.
