When it comes to self-help books, I really struggle to find myself enjoying them if I read them as my main book. So I put aside my current thriller and divulged in this in-between sittings...
Fit For Purpose isn't really the type of book I'd reach for out of my own free will. Though the cover can be deemed aesthetically pleasing, it certainly wouldn't catch my eye. However, I am glad I read it...for a number of reasons.
The main reason being - I felt more aware of myself when reading it... But I could also pinpoint that to not gelling with what was being said a lot of the time.
There are some interesting points in here. I like how in the beginning Dr Richard Pile was very open and honest about his own life, his family and other aspects of his own health, but when it came to the heavier stuff - I felt myself getting a little overwhelmed.
There were a few contradictions, to say the least, and there were some points that could definitely offend and came across as quite judgey. Because of that tone, any points that were made about changing your lifestyle and doing something - seemed somewhat aggressive and made me feel unmotivated.
Overall, I'm not a go-to self help book lover, so I can't say whether this is good or bad for the genre, but I can say this isn't a book I'd necessarily reach for again.
