I truly enjoyed this book and the perspectives for changing your life into exactly what you want. So many parts of this book were almost a memoir of Vishen's life, so it was a bit distracting at times.

Autor ma tak wybujałe ego, że hit. Zamiast faktów czasem popartych przykładami z życia, dostajemy historie o życiu autora. Nic tylko słuchamy jaki to on nie jest wspaniały i inteligentny

I can see how this method could be useful for some, but I did not find the focus on risk compelling. Some people can find happiness in other pursuits. The author's mentors are also not people I would emulate. Odd that the 6 Phase Method that the author does daily and says changed his life is only in the Appendix. A summary of the entire book can also be found there, which would save the reader much time and effort.

Maybe I've lived long enough to have figured most of this out already. It may be very useful to people who find new, revolutionary ideas here. It can be powerful if you've never encountered them before. So, don't pay attention to the old lady who says there's nothing new here. Go, work through the exercises, construct your own world, and namaste!

DNF not because I don't accept with the mind-altering views but because I waited, pushed to get there beyond the author's bullshit self promotion and ego. Yes, you are successful but can you not use yourself as the example for every code out there? we get it, you are a programmer. You have already told us once or twice. Or., oh wait, only a couple hundred times. Should've named it as a biography instead.

I thought this book was excellent! It takes a deep dive into how to just make your life work better. It gives you permission to live on your terms and to be your best self. I highly recommend this book if you feel like you are in a rut and know that there is more to life then what you are doing right now.

It is a good book. Has some effective meditation methods.... teaching you how to find cultural rules one follows just because the community they belong does the same but they do not help you find your happiness. Vishen calls them 'Brules'. To reject these brules and constantly keep updating your systems of life. Ultimately progressing towards being Extraordinary.
