TFA is a little pompous and purports to give advice nobody asked for. The date selector at the beginning uses the super weird American format of month/day/year that nobody else uses. And, to the best of my knowledge, there is no "Charles Eisenstien", but a Charles Eisenstein (author of the first quote in the long, interminable scroll).

I'm not so sure life is short; but spending it reading self-help books and unsolicited advice is one sure way to waste time.
