I also really enjoyed the beginning and end of this book. It started with Pasricha giving us our first tip based on the life story of his mom. I'm not going to reveal any of it because I believe it needs to be revealed when reading the book. But then the book ends with our last tip based from Pasricha's Dad's life.
