Bookshops are full of self-help books, does this mean we as a society are in dire need of such titles, or have publishers/authors perpetuated the belief that we must read such titles for 'betterment'? That we have a need we're not aware of?
I've read a few over the years, not because I had any dire need or there was something missing in my life, and in all that time only one title and it's contents made any sense to me. So you can see I've gone into this book with a certain amount of skepticism.
For me the book lacks any real plan for achievement, it's more a background of getting your mind in the right place to enable you to tackle the more practical solutions. Perhaps I'm not the kind of person this particular book is aimed at and unless I'm in that situation the guidance for me is just meaningless. I wish there'd been more practical advice - there were the occasional paragraphs which did make sense and were interesting, but overall it just lacked something.
