Title: Waste of time
Product review: Save your money, and avoid this book.The book suffers on three counts.First, its prescriptions are nothing that cannot be found in scores of self-help and positive thinking books, most notably the works of Norman Vincent Peale.Second, the lessons are woven into a badly-written story, or "parable". There are a lot of these parables floating around right now. I suspect the self-help authors like them because they can be used to dispense moral maxims without the burden of supplying proof or real-life examples. But if you are going to hand people life advice, you ought to be able to back it up. It is too easy to pass out sugar-candy.Finally, there is a lot of New Age nonsense in this thing. It undermines an already mediocre whole, and it adds nothing of use. Frankly it is weird.
