Canadian-born rapper/poet/writer Singh, aka Humble the Poet, offers counterintuitive lessons that help readers tap into life on life's terms, presenting an array of easy-to-digest tips, such as the less expectations one has the less disappointments ensue, and that regrets are futile. Singh seems to empathize with readers when he says that "you have reasons to be miserable" but then deflects to a more positive outlook to frame the disgruntlement.
VERDICT A great option for those who don't wish to spend a lot of time analyzing the "why's" and "what if's" of their lives.
