Title: wanted to like it...
Product review: Yep, i bought it hoping for some self-discovery. I would have been more than satisfied with some simple take-home points to bring into everyday life. I wanted to like this book, and thought I would from the reviews on Amazon (generally fairly good, but they can be artificially inflated, as a NYT expose recently found). Not sure about what other people saw in this book. It was full of platitudes and other obvious and trite suggestions. Because I'm scientifically minded, I want to have a reason to believe the advice I'm being given, but the author's basic premises are unsubstantiated. Moreover, it was boring. BIG CAVEAT: I didn't finish the book, only getting half way through. Maybe it gets better?
