I understand the author's desire to squeeze all his life wisdom into one book, but it feels overwhelming to read all those lessons in one place. It's like: "Hey, I'll die in an hour, so here's what you need to know about life, quick!"
Topics and ideas are worthy reader's attention. Examples could be better for sure.

I think this book is like what the writer suggests doing, truly a legacy
If you wanna pursue something higher, better and more noble in your life, this book is one of the cornerstones which anyone shouldn't have missed. Similar to "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People", it reveals the significance of being proactive by identifying the circles in which there are factors we can't control and there aren't anything we can do about. Once having these factors identified, it's time for us to learn and to grow to adapt to the ever-changing world. Questions to asked: what is our goal? Then what is our plan? What is significant in our lives? What are the tools that help us to reach the goals? Situations are carefully categorized, for example, how to carry out effective communication when the audience are "shut down", simply not listening, or the "no-filters" mode, which we tend to be provoked to say something too honest or even too rude to others, is unsympathetically on.
