Review
I’ve been seeing this book consistently on the Amazon’s Most Read charts. I like to browse this list because it shows you what people are actually reading instead of just what people are buying.
I find the list more useful than other bestsellers’ list because it tells me which books are engaging people, after all, we’ve all picked up a title and abandoned it after a few pages because it wasn’t interesting or compelling.
So, I went ahead and borrowed it from the library. This book offers a is a zero-nonsense approach to self-help concepts. I’ve heard most of it before but the author delivers the message in a concise, sorry-if-it-hurts, straight-forward way.
I found some of the advice helpful and I’m glad I read it. I understand now why it might resonate with many people and recommend it to those always seeking to improve themselves.
I’ve been interested in reading this, simply because of the title. Was it a relatively quick read?
Yes, it was quick. I listened to the audiobook and to me it was interesting.
