A jarring, alluring and magnanimous compilation of think pieces that penetrate the mind and reverberate deeply throughout the soul. From Perception's outset, Griffin unapologetically confronts uncomfortable constructs like race, racism, social stratification, religion, and sexuality and challenges the reader to use metacognition as a tool for self-evaluation, reconciliation, and holistic growth. Griffin uses a sophisticated, fearless, and unbounded approach to seamlessly weave together and deconstruct topics like freedom, love, suppression, oppression, and depression as well. The book does a phenomenal job highlighting how in-depth personal ideologies and knowledge impact the way individuals navigate the world as well as how their emotions manifest throughout divergent parts of their journeys. In the book, Griffin often cautions readers about life's frailties and uncertainties and encourages them to develop empathy and humility toward themselves and others for the betterment of society
