I most liked the conversational tone of the writing. Even though it was research-based, it did not come across as academic. I also liked that the author chose to make the citation markings in the text as unobtrusive as possible.

I appreciate the author's indulgence on suffering as an integral part of the human experience. It boosts my positive spirit and I feel I can struggle with life with more endurance. We always hate suffering and curse it. We hanker after happiness. And in this process, we get nothing but frustration. "The Fireproof Happiness" by Dr. Randy Ross teaches me to accept suffering as a part of my life.

I was captivated by case scenarios and real-life stories, finding joy in the narratives that brought educational subjects to life, as explanations alone didn't offer the same depth of meaning.

The one aspect of the book that I truly liked the most is its relevance to our world today. The author's nuanced perspective on hope as a catalyst for success and teamwork brought a refreshing dimension to the book, offering practical insights into how hope isn't confined to personal spheres but extends its influence into professional realms, enriching both personal and collective growth. I truly found this book helpful.

I was happy to read about faith that brings hope in the story of the man who had terminal illness. I wished the author had more to say about faith, as that is not unusual, but is the most important part of life, for many people.

I loved that the author shared so many stories to justify his strong beliefs. It makes it easy for the reader to primarily believe in what the author is trying to propose.

I liked the small quotes placed in between lengthy paragraphs. They made the reading active for me. They helped me incorporate the author's advice. My biggest takeaway from the book is - The more you create routines, the fewer choices you have to make. I am trying to create these routines now.
