I have read many self help/advice/empowerment books this year and some of the advice and tips were spot on, but not new ideas. Some of the advice was event redundant if you like to read self-help books, just my opinion. I did appreciate his point of view and his experiences that he shared and what he learned. Those parts were more interesting. But honestly, I skim read most of this.
