Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen

I just finished reading the book, and I have to say that I really don't think that there was anything that needed to be improved regarding the book. I gave it 5 stars with not anything negative to say about it.

I finished reading this book and I'm planning to rate it a 5. However, I believe that the way of explanation could be improved. I will not explain it in detail here as I plan to in my review but I felt the book was a bit bulky (for me). It might need some improvement on that.

I do not think that there is anything that should be improved in the book. I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the book to the point of having no criticism of it.

I'm halfway through the book and so far, I don't find anything lacking. One of the things I like about Fireproof Happiness: Extinguishing Anxiety & Igniting Hope is the simplicity of language. It's so easy to follow through.

Overall, there is nothing that needs to be improved upon. Although I think many readers would enjoy Chapter 7, "Reverse Engineering Hope", I found it hard to stay focused due to the technical aspect of the content.

Honestly, I dont think there is anything that needs to be improved in this book or maybe I was just so hooked up reading that I could not discover any flaws.

There's no aspect that should be strongly emphasized to improve the book. However, I noticed a minor setback: I believe this book could be written more concisely. While the various aspects of hope are essential to mention, I think they are a little overexplained in some parts. It could be written more succinctly, in my opinion.

Absolutely nothing, while some elements may appear repetitive, the overall impact and motivational value outweigh this little flaw. I don't have any criticisms about the book; it strikes me as a well-researched and balanced guide to understanding and fostering positive outlook.

Honestly, I found the book to be pretty perfect. There aren't any changes or suggestions that I'd like to give for the book to be improved. There were just some minor grammatical errors that could be worked upon through one round of editing but nevertheless, it did not affect my reading experience! So, yes, this book pretty much hits the perfect mark.

I liked the author's own experiences in overcoming hopelessness. He could have expounded more on how he found hope, I thought.

At location 156 ( for those on the Kindle app): "It manifests itself in rising above self-interest and difficult circumstances to serve others. These actions may be directed upward in terms of serving others and doing [the will of God]."

How can we know the will of God? I think we, humans, may not be able to read the mind of God to know God's will. And there is no transparency in thinking that our will is God's?

The sentences--"doing the will of God" or "serving God"--can be distracting.

The best we can do is to serve humanity. If the service to humanity is the service to God, we are lucky.
