   Highly recommended! Read the first dozen or so chapters; it's absolutely enriching. If you don't like it, come back and criticize me—it's truly amazing! It will help you rediscover yourself and bravely live the life you want. After reading this, I felt like I was on a roll. I believe you'll gain something from it too. I gained courage to face life and myself directly, and my spirits instantly soared. I'm less conflicted and much more carefree, haha! It will shatter all your previous perceptions. Things you thought were good or right before, or even true, will be completely overturned after reading this. I'm not just bragging; the things in this book are so real, so intensely real, that they feel suppressed. The author was forced to weave the real into the fake to let you see and understand what true cultivation is, and to make you realize that living life with a cultivation mindset is just playing games. ❛˓◞˂̵✧
