Intellectuals hate self-help books, but common people seem to like them. I want to know why. Function of this kind of book is to give inspiration and motivation boost to achieve success. It feels good while you are reading and you have to admire the persuasion skills of the author. The downside is that, when the reality hits in your face, you really forget that you ever read the book. It seems that the intellectuals hate self-help books because they understand that there is no book that will change your life. You cannot outsource it. Lasting change, if it is happening at all, is occurring really slow.
This book is pretty standard for the genre. While it has some great concepts and the writer makes it very easy to follow the flow of the book, overall I would say this book is pretty middle of the road a far as overall originality. This book is a decent read, and by no means would I tell someone not to give it a chance, yet I would not include this on my Must-Read list.
