chapter 5

five is the best chapter ever. it really helped me view the world entirely different. understanding what dehumanizing really means and trying to process with superiority really does to other people. This chapter really covered in detail why it's important to understand others, hear them out and treat them as an equal. it was really touching and it really made me reflect on so many experiences in my life. this book overall has so many great examples as to why people should try and understand each other and not dismiss anyone's opinion. overall it was very meaningful and worth reading.

Vulnerability was relatable

Enjoyed the different examples . I felt like I was in the room each time he shared an experience throughout the book .

Hard to follow.

A lot of repeating and not a great narrator. I simply couldn't listen. Had to return. Sorry.
