‘101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think’ Is a Must-Read

Most readers have a list of books that they would recommend to everyone, and “101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think” by Brianna Wiest is high on my list. What’s nice about this book is that it’s divided into short chapters and gives sound advice about life in general.

In the words of Folio , in the essays, “ Wiest explores pursuing purpose over passion, embracing negative thinking, seeing the wisdom in daily routine and becoming aware of the cognitive biases that are creating the way you see your life.”

According to Lancaster Online, “Wiest works as a writer and copy editor for Fine Living Lancaster. She also founded the website Soul Anatomy and has written sponsored content for brands including Smartwater and HBO’s ‘Girls.’ She briefly moved to New York after graduating from Elizabethtown, but returned to Lancaster at the end of 2013.”

Wiest wrote “101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think” in 2016. Here are some chapters that I liked and various quotes that stood out to me.

Chapter 14: Expectations You Must Let Go of In Your 20s

Hard work guarantees success. “If you’re looking for any one particular outcome as the end goal of your hard work, you’re most likely going to end up disappointed. The point of hard work is to recognize the person it makes you, not what it ‘gets’ you (the former you can control; the latter, you can’t).”

The right person will come at the right time. “If you wait on the feeling of ‘readiness,’ you’ll be waiting forever, and worse, you’ll miss the best of what’s in front of you.”

Focusing solely on your own needs will make you happiest. However, “meeting your own needs is the first step, not the ultimate goal.”

Chapter 18: 10 Key Things We Misunderstand About Emotion

Fear doesn’t mean a desire to escape. It means you’re interested . “This is to say, nothing is generally ‘scary’ to us unless some part of us also wants to understand it, knows we are a part of it and feels as though it will become part of our experience.”

“You cannot selectively numb emotion. When we numb [hard feelings], we numb joy, we numb gratitude, we numb happiness .” It’s healthier to experience everything, meaning the good as well as the bad.

Chapter 30: Signs the Only Problem With Your Life Is the Way You Think About It

You generally spend more time thinking about your life than you do actually living it. You’ve replaced “ experience ” with “reflection” and wonder why you feel unfulfilled.

You think you don’t have enough friends. “You’re measuring the connection in your life by a quantity, not a quality, assuming that the problem is not enough around you, when it’s really that there’s not enough inside you.”

“101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think” has tremendously helped me discover myself and learn how I’ve held myself back from things out of fear. Wiest has a way of writing that is very memorable, and it is easy to implement her advice into your daily life.

I think everyone should read “101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think” because it helps you get out of your head and inspires you to live the life you want to live.

If you’re interested in Wiest’s book, you can find it at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Audible and many other places.

• And much more.

Eventually, the core idea of the book gets down to “how to be happy.” If you collect all the pieces of the puzzle together, you will find that the main purpose of the book is to help readers look at their lives and themselves from a different angle. Wiest talks a lot about the importance of positive thinking and self-love for finding that comfort we are all striving for.

Among other things, Brianna also touches such deep and all-encompassing topics as Zen Buddhism principles and their effect on our lives. She highlights the importance of being enlightened and following those principles to finally conquer your subconscious resistance for good things in your life and start feeling happy.

One more big topic that can be traced throughout the whole piece is the importance of now. The author emphasizes that the current moment is basically everything we have. 

She shares her own insights and practical tips aimed to help the readers stop over-analyzing their past or future, and focus on what is real now. This idea often interlinks with another concept from the book – you are a creator of your own reality.

In Conclusion

In conclusion, it is worth noting that giving an objective evaluation of this book can be rather hard. Just like there are many controversial opinions on 101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think on the web, you will most likely have the same controversial feelings after actually reading it.

Everything in this work by Brianna Wiest is aimed at making you feel better about yourself, your life, and everything in the world. 

However, as was already mentioned at the beginning of our analysis – the title is indeed overpromising. 101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think does have some very good parts. But, all in all, there is a bit too much fluff a reader has to get through before getting to the point.

Some pieces presented in the book are inspiring, philosophical, and deep. Reading them you can gain valuable tips and insights. These pieces might actually change your attitude or thinking in some way. 

However, when a single book is about every possible topic, in reality, it turns out to be about not so much. Many parts of the books are simply irrelevant. 

Still, this is not the type of disadvantage that should ruin your opinion about this book. After all, fluff and lack of relevance are quite common features of many self-help books.
