Title: Rehashed trash
Review: Mack Newton's book is a rehash of pop-culture trash that's been written about before. And much more profoundly. For various reasons (based on a rationalist's skepticism), I really do question the validity of most of the book's contents. And in a "self-help" book such as this, integrity is all important. If a story is created just to make a point, that's nice and all. But getting happy applying Mack's advice in real life works the same way you get rich by playing the lottery. Additionally, the book is self-published by Mack himself. Listen folks, the world is made up of a million self-help gurus selling us stuff to make us like them. How may ways can these people rehash such simple human observations such as, "to thine own self, be true, "seek and ye shall find, and, "life is misery." Read a novel. Don't buy this book.
