Re: What do you think could be improved in this book?
While "Fireproof Happiness" shines a vibrant light on cultivating hope, some areas could offer even more fuel for the journey. I feel that readers with a scientific thirst might appreciate deeper dives into the research foundation, while others could benefit from personalizing the strategies to tackle unique challenges. Additionally, addressing potential criticisms of hope-based approaches and exploring applications beyond individual well-being could further enrich the book's impact.
It's impossible to please everyone, but just adding a few more moments of science, research, unique strategies, etc. could broaden the scope of the targeted audience.

Exactly. I rated the book with four stars instead of five because of the same issue. I thought the whole first chapter could have been removed without any damage to the overall message. This book definitely could be written more concisely.N parvin wrote: ↑31 Dec 2023, 11:22 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.

I didn't care for all of the callouts. In the Kindlebook version, nearly every screen shot had the emphasized callouts. It broke up the flow too much. I wanted to get through the book without the constant distraction.
