To say this book is heartwarming is an understatement. Every time I re-read Rilke’s profound letters of advice and encouragement to a young pen pal, a new chapter (each their own letter) resonates with me at the exact time I need that same reassurance. Self-doubt, love, sex, career aspirations, loneliness, and seeking a sense of purpose—the shared human experience is humbling, and apparently, enduring across different centuries.
