Here One Moment

 

Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I used to love everything Liane Moriarty wrote, and I don't know if I changed, or if she did. This book was ok. I also really like exploring the idea of feeling that there is a plan for each of us, that things happen for a reason, but how it can get twisted with ideas of fate, and the feeling that there is no choice. This book explored that and I especially liked that she focused on the choices each passenger made because of this "knowledge" they received about how and when they would die. But maybe it was the number of characters that were involved, I never felt like I was fully invested in any one of them. And they seemed a lot like the same characters in Nine Perfect Strangers (which I didn't read but attempted to watch and gave up because it was terrible). An interesting premise, but maybe I was expecting too much, because I was ultimately underwhelmed.

Because the moment I do, you change your behavior.  You're no longer the same person you were a moment before.  See the logic?  So--all I can do is interpret the cards to help you see possible paths.

Chaos theory is the idea that a tiny change now can result ina large change later

Gödel's "incompleteness theorem" which states that in any reasonable mathematical system there will always be true statements that cannot be proved.

If you tell yourself you're going to unhappy you will be!  You can choose how to see your future!
