I got attracted to this book when listining to a podcast where the author told the story of the black and white rabbits. Hoping for more of those insightful stories, but there were little.
On the pro side the book has some good ideas on what is wrong wiht our society and that we need to become more human again to solve it. Practically the author is telling stories from his own life, interesting to read, but nothing really special.

I respect that the author has his belief, but it does not mean that I enjoy reading parts of the bible in a book. Eveen worse, as a coincidence the Nashville shool shooting happened when I was reading the book and on the news I saw a lot of comments all with "thoughts an prayers", which are obviously are much more powerful than laws on gun control . And then reading that the author asks a pastor after a tough week if his family is cursed made me really wonder how insane you can becoume with too much religion. Besides that, the book refers a lot to the american culture and also to social networks, especially Instagram, so people that are not part of those communities might not understand the references.
