The book is full of random things to do from origami and passing the book to a stranger and having them draw you, to making paper aeroplanes and baking a cake in a mug, boredom won't even exist anymore with this book around. 

There are tasks such as 'Write a compliment, rip out this page, and give it to a stranger' and 'Write five things you like best about yourself and why." I think the book is really positive. I enjoyed this book but the only thing that matters if you enjoy it too. 

The pointless book doesn’t pretend to be what it isn’t. The cover isn’t flashy. It suggests tearing a page out of the brown paper wrapping of life and making a difference to your day. 

When reading it, you can literally imagine him thinking of it and hear his answers in the questions, which as a fan, I love. If you're not a fan, I'd still suggest buying this book because it's a really nice book with a good idea.
