Really great mostly-self-help book with a dash of memoir. The principles discussed are a great non-religious introduction to mindfulness and how to look at life's troubles in a healthy way. The gimmick of organizing the book around Twitter's answers to her questions worked surprisingly well. The author did a lot of legwork beyond just picking the pithiest 140-character mottos: she grouped them into categories that actually demonstrate different ways to answer the deep question she was asking. Sometimes these answers even contradict each other, and she goes out of her way to say that this, too, is OK. She also backs up the ideas with studies, related reading, etc, making it feel really meaty. The author's voice is very honest and open, which makes you feel like you're talking to a friend rather than reading a book.
