Written in 2017-18 by a 26-year-old who had just quit smoking and drinking, left toxic relationships, and needed a cathartic exercise to get through a tough time as a young father; "Life Qualifies" is a book that delves into the unique experiences that shape our perspectives and beliefs.

 

The author, Matthew, uses his own experiences as a lens through which to explore the different pockets of life and the ways in which they shape and are shaped by our interactions with them. The book aims to inspire readers by showing that, just as the author was able to change his own life for the better in his late 20s, readers too can use the wisdom gained from their experiences to shape their own lives.

 

Through contemplations on life, the world, philosophies, and mindsets, the book encourages readers to be aware of how their own lives are shaping them and to use this understanding to gain a deeper appreciation of the ways in which life has qualified them.
