Me to We

sammilim — 2025-02-07 18:26:44 UTC

Written by Craig and Mark Kielburger, this book covers the philosophy of "Me to We". This concept describes a way of living that feeds the positive in the world using one action, one faith, and one small step at a time. It discusses the creation of the movement "Free The Children", exploring the life-changing stories of people who were impacted by the philosophy of "Me to We".

Overall, this book was well written and contained a bunch of heartwarming stories/experiences with deep meanings behind them. I loved how it focused on life, and no matter what situation you're in it'll guide and lead you to the right pathway. However, the main reason why I chose to stop reading it is because I slowly lost interest. I think the message of the book was truly meaningful, but it isn't a genre I would necessarily read. I would definitely recommend it to someone who likes reading books with deep meanings behind them.

i hope this reaches her in time

Written by r.h. Sin, this book depicts an unusual romantic relationship. It discusses how women are taken advantage of and, despite giving their all in a relationship, always end up on the short end of the stick. Additionally, it hints at how, before it's too late, men should love their significant others when they still care or try harder when they can. Because if they don't, in the end, they'll end up realizing what they've lost and live with regret.

Overall, I found this book to be super deep and emotional. As I progressed throughout it, I felt the emotions that the author was trying to depict, and it gave me a sense of feeling. It truly made me think and reflect on the things I have now, and to appreciate them before it's too late. I loved the emotions of what the author was trying to convey and the way they formatted the paragraphs in the book.

The Glass Castle

Written by Jeannette Walls, this memoir tells the story of the author herself, depicting themes of family and poverty. Having unconventional and dysfunctional parents, Jeannette and her 3 siblings must learn and adapt to their surroundings, making the most of what they have. Facing their parents' rash decisions, the Wall family is constantly on the move, doing what they call "the skadlde".

Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book because it constantly explored different topics while maintaining the plot. In all honesty, this book truly held my attention and kept me interested throughout. It genuinely opened my eyes to how each person sees the world differently, and how money (to some people) doesn't buy happiness. Only what their passionate about does.
