I had fairly realistic expectations going into this book, anticipating little more than a typical self-help, grindset, get-your-money-up-not-your-funny-up type of book, and I was pleasantly surprised. Clear is very practical and realistic, you can tell how knowledgeable he is every page of the book, but it's not obnoxious or filled with fluff. With a lot of non-fiction productivity type books, I've noticed a lot of repetition and rehashing of the same points, over, and over. This book hardly had any fluff or unnecessary repetition, greatly appreciated.
Clear also includes a bullet list after every chapter summarizing the material, and frankly I don't know why this practice is not more widespread. Additionally, there are many graphs and figures of his own creation, which surprised me in their effectiveness to represent his ideas.
Genuinely insightful and impressive, I would recommend this to anyone who cannot keep their shit together.

I found The Hole a bit monotonous at first, but wow, the ending justifies every bit of seeming dullness.

almost ★★★★★

The part when Asahi falls into the hole beside Grandpa and she notices the creature beneath her gave me chills like no other book has.

I was pleasantly surprised by the latter half of the book. The author was clearly inspired by [b: My Year of Rest and Relaxation|44279110|My Year of Rest and Relaxation|Ottessa Moshfegh|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1597676656l/44279110.SY75.jpg|55508660], which is reflected in the first half or so. However, I was truly impressed by how she developed the story. I believe Irina is brilliant as a main character, and as we discover how unreliable Irina is as a narrator, I loved that I was forced to question the true nature of Irina's experiences, how removed from reality she may be.

The ending was impeccable, the bag/severed head sequence really stuck with me.
