Sagan has such a unique outlook on life, secular/religious practices, and philosophy, and it truly was incredible going through this book and learning about her life. It had me tearing up at some parts, for sure.  This book is extremely inspiring, and it's making me think more about the beauty of life and time and other people than any other self-help book I've read. I jive with her philosophy so much!! I've only been in the nine-to-five drudgery for a few years now, and I think this was a perfect time to read this book.  I feel motivated to revitalize the way I think about the passage of time and want to intentionally celebrate what's come to pass/what will inevitably pass.
