This book is a pure, undiluted “motivational speaker” book, in the worst sense. If that’s not bad enough, I can clearly hear her mixing the book the Vortex by Abraham Hicks into her writing, which should be identified as a teaching school if it’s used. The fist half of the Mountain is You is an oversimplified version of Atomic Habits word for word with no research or supporting materials.

Although this book is set in a very different town, Santana de Parnaíba, located not in the Amazon but in the state of São Paulo, the families of Santana de Parnaíba sent most of their descendants into the frontier, perhaps some even to the remote village I visited in 1967.
