Rating:⭐⭐⭐⭐-(4/5)
You Noticed That by Anastasia Akbulut is a reflective and philosophical exploration of human nature, personal growth, and societal constructs. The book details several thematic chapters that delve into the intricacies of self-awareness, the challenges of change, the corrupting influence of power and money, the profound impact of silence, and the complexity of life’s continuous game.
This book goes further to discuss the inherent traits and behaviors of humans, emphasizing self-discovery and the constant search for identity. Through it, Akbulut prompts readers to question who they are and what influences their actions and thoughts. She also encourages embracing change and viewing failures as opportunities for learning and progression.
The book has a lot of gems to take home. I learned that silence is a powerful form of expression, and it can be more impactful than words, often reflecting deeper truths and emotions. I also learned about the futility of competing for superficial success and the importance of finding genuine meaning and fulfillment.
Anastasia Akbulut's writing is both poetic and analytical, blending personal anecdotes with broader societal observations to create a rich tapestry of insights. The book’s interactive approach, especially the final request for readers to write their own stories, adds a personal touch that encourages engagement and reflection.
Indeed, her arguments are compelling and backed with poignant examples. However, while Akbulut excellently identifies problems and encourages self-reflection, the book offers fewer concrete solutions or practical steps for readers to implement the changes she advocates. Hence, I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars. Nevertheless, this book is a valuable read for anyone interested in personal development and philosophical inquiry.
