The site is pretty. However, I do not get the same message from this site as I do from the book it’s based on.

When you get farther into the site and it’s telling you what you should be doing… no thanks. That comes off as prescriptive and condescending to me. I did not get that from the book.

I found the book to be more of a thoughtful reflection on “the productivity trap”. Also the pace at which the book introduces and moves past existential dread is much smoother.

The site is nearly all excerpts including the section with “practical advice” - those ten suggestions are nearly verbatim from the book author from the last chapter
