Not a bad book. But really not sure what her point was.

The biography part is the most interesting (would have given that 4 stars)... But i really failed to see how it relates to her own story. And her own life??? I'm just confused.

The prose are beautiful and I really enjoyed reading it. It just feels like she wanted to write a biography and a selfhelp book and didn't have enough material for either to be a full book and thus she awkwardly stuck the two parts together ... I was anticipating for the ending bring everything full circle and make some kind of profound point, but that resolution never came and it was very unsatisfying.

I just think it's (2) miss opportunities as her technical writing skill is fantastic and writing two separate books would result in two very good books except for one kinda confused book.
