The author of the book should strive to fully embody her own message, particularly in the example of her neighbour, Dee. Giving with one C (contentment) and without the two C’s (complaining and comparing) would better illustrate the “giving” principle she promotes. I also wonder what impact this passage might have on Dee if she ever read it. Instead of using her as an example of decline, the author could have shown how one might engage with someone like Dee in a way that uplifts both parties. This approach would have made the message more authentic and aligned the storytelling with the book’s core philosophy.
