I was intrigued more by the idea of this book. I found it a little boring in execution. Some of it could have been Ithw audiobook format over actually reading it but I think it there is also just a large portion that is what I find interesting in a book vs what is the contents of this book. There's nothing really wrong here I guess... it just never really did anything for me.
