The author wishes you well and provides basic sound advice. It comes from a good place. While the intention is good. It did not click with me. Would prefer more concrete examples rather than descriptions of what to do. One reminder I did enjoy and believe is effective is, when someone throws garbage into your mind, throw it out right away. Garbage is anything that is not kind or helpful, or something that comes from their insecurities. Something that someone else tries to put in your mind that serves their purpose and not yours.... garbage. That music you hear in the store while you are grocery shopping ... it’s occupying space in your mind. Someone else is putting it there, regardless of if you like the song or not. Did you choose to listen to it at that moment? Just one example of the environmental pollution we are exposed to everyday. Go for a walk in the woods.
1,5* I don’t think this book is an actual guide for anything. Although there some good phrases in it, overall is a collections of already spoken and discussed topics. Nothing new or fresh. The narrative is a little bit too superficial and disorganized. It was a bit too repetitive, boring and condescending. The author has a specific way of writing that is similar to mandatory learning practices, and not like an open-minded, thought – provoking guidelines. For me the whole experience was dull and unsatisfying. I didn’t learn anything new. The discussed principles weren’t well developed, so they are hard to be implemented. Won’t recommend!
I was full of expectation about this book and the chapters seemed really interesting and useful. Then, throughout the reading, I noticed how there was nothing really useful written down and there were few big mistakes and typos. One of the worst was: Churchill one of the US Presidents! Awful... It was easy to read but I wouldn't recommend it!
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Very badly in need of editing (when was Winston Churchill president of USA?). The English was like a bad translation and I found the book very patronising.
