A lot of it is just "accept, deal with it" etc but I guess that's the painful truth you don't want to hear because in most cases accepting is an "easier said than done" situation and it takes time. I liked the little jokes in between, in the end it's probably easier to be less serious about life and cover everything up with a weird sense of humour. At least that's what I do. Still, the book was very repetitive and a bit dull after a while. I enjoyed it at the beginning but it got boring quite quickly. The helpfulness is also questionable. Not sure if it actually made me realise anything but it wasn't horrifyingly bad.
