When I was a teenager and read a lot of books that shaped my imagination, there were definitely more books that had a strong impact on me—either through the worlds they presented, the ideas they conveyed, or the author’s imagination.

Later, after having seen and experienced much, it became harder to find something that truly amazed me or moved me deeply.

However, in my 40s, this book managed to do just that. I don't want to say much about it because I truly recommend approaching it with a fresh perspective, without reading reviews or opinions. I especially recommend it to those who struggle with issues like feeling out of place in the world, feeling alienated, or whose ADHD makes daily functioning difficult, and who feel misunderstood by the rest of the world. This is a broad generalization, but this book really helps you understand both yourself and others. It’s a wonderful read—quite short and condensed—but I guarantee that after finishing it, you'll place it on your lap and stare into the distance for a while, reflecting on what you've read.
