This book was a DNF. I firmly believe that this book could be summarized in a 5 page article. There is so much useless text that the author added to hit a quota. There was nothing groundbreaking, or overly informative. Anything that is helpful, has been smothered or buried in unnecessary text.
Some great points to think about. Great insight why it's important to figure out what you stand for and stick to it.
I wanted to read this book because it's a classic and I've read good reviews of it. The book brings precious and timeless advice but I didn't like the way they were delivered. I think the writing style is boring and the author tries to “over-explain” concepts that are not that complex. And the examples he brings of his real cases with clients or with his family didn't catch my attention, I thought they were uninteresting at the majority of times.
In short, I think the book lacks objectivity and over complicates the subjects. It wasn't a good read for me at all.
