When this book arrived in the mail, I was disappointed to see how incredibly thin it is -- a mere 80 pages. Flipping through it, I was disappointed again to discover that most of the pages have only a sentence or two written on them. It's as though the gimmicky typography took centre stage over the subject matter.
When I actually sat down to read it and do the exercises, I wasn't at all surprised to see that the handling of the material was... thin, at best. I was hoping for more insights, more meaty discussions on what makes a meaningful life, on goal-setting and time management, on priorities and boundaries, on all the things that so many of us struggle with that keeps us from achieving our peak potential.
Instead, I got a whole lot of fluff, a mish-mash of quotes I've read a hundred times before, and questions that are so common-sense as to be pretty useless in terms of actually setting down a solid 5-year plan. Overall, this book was incredibly disappointing, and I wish I'd flipped through it in a store before purchasing it from Amazon, because I never would have spent my hard-earned money on it.
