Meanwhile, the essays, which carry on the same themes, but add details of Smith’s own experiences, are uneven. The bland, minimalist design doesn’t do the work any favors, either. But bound together in book format, they blur together and fail to leave much of an impression. When read individually, the bite-size sentiments succeed as wise and compassionate pieces of encouragement. The messages are loosely organized into three parts (“Revision,” “Resilience,” and “Transformation”) and interspersed with short personal essays. The slight volume compiles inspirational tweets-all concluding with the admonition to “keep moving”-that Smith began writing in the wake of a divorce.
