4.0 out of 5 starslook for this author on podcasts or in audio interviews
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2017
I heard the author on a podcast and i really, really liked what she had to say. So I bought her book.
The book is very long. It contains considerably more information than the hour long interview I heard, which is good. I dislike when an interesting speaker has nothing further to say in a book they are promoting than the promotional material itself.
My problem, the reason I rated the book only 3.5 out of 5 is compared to the very dynamic manner in which the author speaks, the writing is very dry. I read a lot and I read widely, and I don't think of my self as particularly finicky but this book is hard going for me. I take it along where ever I go and attempt to delve further. Sometimes I jump ahead, hoping for a more engaging part. . .you might wonder why I still persevere, when it's clearly such a chore.
I keep going because the material is important. The material teaches one resilience, and how to rewire one's own brain. The results are wonderful. I very much appreciate my newly minted resilience. I recommend doing the work. You won't be sorry.
