The book had a variety of useful tips, exercises, and heuristics to see if you could benefit from working deeply on each of its principles. To me many of the principles felt obvious and less groundbreaking than they might have been in 1999.
Its format as a workbook, to my mind, was greatly hampered by it being an audiobook which made a number of the activities/worksheets difficult to consume.
It also, likely due to the research subjects, has tips for a very normative family (hetrosexual monogamous with kids). I wouldn't recommend it as highly to someone who fit outside one or more of those categories..
