As someone who has read a lot of self-help books in the past, but is aware of their flaws, I wanted to like this book so much. However, I found it tried to cover to much, and only skimmed the surface in many ways, which is a shame. It could have been so much better, even if the author had given links to external websites and blog posts to illustrate deeper what he was trying to get across.

Too many topics covered in light touches. A self help book that is anti self help.
Failure is a part of life and can be a real learning experience , if you allow it to be..
Western success is based on money and power and not necessarily being a successful human being.
Personally I think if the author had covered fewer topics and focused on these in greater depth the book would have been better.

Thanks to Netgalley for allowing me to read this book in return for a fair review.

Putting the book down I felt like I was missing something. I can't say I knew what to expect but also can't say that I was fulfilled at the end.

This was not the book it promised to be. I read about half of it before giving up. Sorry I have read other books that were more optimistic than this.

This book is a disappointment. The author doesn't go into detail for the subjects of each chapter, he just touches on them briefly. The premise of this book was promising, but the actual book is a letdown.
