I thought this book was very insightful and gave a lot to think about. Some parts of it were better than others - some parts felt like they were repeating themselves or weren't quite written for a lay audience (the author approaches everything from a Jungian analysis viewpoint, which can get a little terminology-dense). But, overall, he makes fabulous points about the preconceptions and buried thoughts that hold us back.
However, if you're looking for instructions on how to implement the sort of deep thinking on your habits and preconceptions that he suggests, you'll come up short. The author doesn't give more than a list of questions to think about. After everything he mentions in the book, the reader's left with the distinct impression that they can't honestly tackle those questions alone and maybe should go find a therapist. Not a bad way to go, as there's no EASY way to straighten out one's way of seeing the world, but with the title, I was expecting at least a little more of an attempt at how-to.
