‘The Midnight Library’ is a fiction novel that showcases the story of Nora Seed, who is suffering from depression and anxiety disorders. She takes a wrong step and is transported to a library where each book shows her how her life would have been if she had made different decisions. My key takeaways from the book are:
1. The impact of our choices: All the choices or decisions that we make constitute our present life. Even the smallest choice of ours counts and makes a difference. We have such a superpower of making decisions, so we should use it properly.
2. Our regrets: We accumulate many regrets throughout our life. These regrets are not always valid because things are not always how we think them to be.
3. Value your present life: We often find ourselves dissatisfied with our life and how things are happening. We crave a new life or a different life, but we must understand that our present life is precious and no life is like the one we are living. We should value our life and cherish it.
