We are doing something different today. Hello. Christina reached out in the personal messages of Swell to talk about this particular review of Courage to be disliked that I dropped on Goodreads and she was wondering why my review reads the way that it does. More specifically, why I say that the book is difficult to read and yet it is a fantastic read. She has questions along this lines of why I say that it is a reader's job to extract value and not a writer's job to provide it
It's almost like also a process of, like Adam Grant talks about, when you write something, it's not that you necessarily have the conclusion in your head before you put pen to paper. It's that that process of putting pen to paper is when you start to sort things out. And so for me, beginning to compose that review is sort of reflecting on that experience

I'm not reviewing the book for the author. I'm not reviewing it for the publishing industry, not reviewing it for anybody else other than me. Because at the end of the day, art is subjective. And when you try to generalize the subjective thing that I bought this book and this is what I feel and so should you, I feel like that is stepping on slippery stones. So I try to avoid reviewing books for anybody else other than me
