Some thought provoking quips, but they are few and far between. Bit of a stretch to market the book as being a compilation of "fifty ideas to improve your life".

The biggest insult is the inclusion of sponsored content (read: ads) in a paperback. This is just a glorified magazine with compiled content in a paperback's guise.

So far, the book seems to be written more for a general audience, taking on journalistic writing to document the life of a generally unheard figure in the country's political history. The complete lack of footnotes (only a list of sources consulted) is disappointing and leads to clunky language overall.

The book reads more like a hodgepodge compilation of various sources than one which actually advances a cohesive central argument (contrary to the stated intention).
