And most of all, she discovered that the power to change your life can be found in only one within yourself.

Ok I'm not discrediting the difficult journey and medical issues that the author went through. I'm basing this on the summary and formatting of the book. Based on the summary I expected to hear insights and interviews with many successful people. Instead there are small blips about successful people, but the book is mostly about the medical issues the author encountered and how she dealt with it. The book also is filled with advice on what we should do to be successful. The advice is good, but the directive of the book is disjointed and waves between an inspiring biography, a self help book, and a view at successful professionals.
Another way I'd describe this is... a journal entry or a report after therapy. It likely helped the author process her emotions, her feelings, and helping her press on through success.
