I feel bad writing a rating and reviewing an unfinished book, but this is the one case I feel required to do this positively.
I bought this book when it first became available from the publisher - before official publication date. I started reading it, and got through the introduction before putting it down, because I could just think clearly, and do things.
Every time I've picked this up since - which has been many times - the same thing has occurred. I'll start it, and simply reading the introduction will be enough to organize my thoughts, and help me figure out what, and how, I'm doing whatever is important for me to be doing at the time.
It is impressive, how effective, it does exactly what it speaks about. Being a book that helps people with gaining more spoons, because we can help each other, and our writing can help each other.
So, while I might not have read it all, that doesn't matter right now.
I have another tool, if I need help organizing my mind, in this book.
I have done things that were important to me, because of things that were written here.
And that is easily worth 5 stars, even with how rare it is to get 5 stars from me.
And, I have a lot of things I'm looking forward to reading, when I get to them.
