Title: Inspiring only for the right kind of personality...
Review: This book made its way around my company. I fear that part of its attractiveness is the fact that it is so thin. I think that for the right kind of personality, this book is inspiring. I could see giving this to a person who perhaps needed a self-esteem boost or was trying to define their self-worth. However, there are just not enough common themes to resonate as a development guide for everyone. I lost patience with some of the long-winded passages; for example, there is one where the author relays an entire conversation with someone which could be an insightful tool but in this case it felt like filler. The book also plays into the current trend of parable-style books which is becoming trite. In this case, its cutesy visuals using circles as metaphors becomes tired and makes the book feel as if it is not quite aimed at an adult audience.
Is the review positive or negative?
