Book Review

 

I tried really hard to get into this book, but I wasn't able to. The format of this book implies using each chapter as a weekly meditation. I didn't have enough time to take this approach since the goal was to review the book.

Looking through the chapters it seems unlikely that each one would apply to every person. I'm not sure how this would factor into someone using the book for a weekly meditation. One meditation is, "So, you want to get married". I'm already married; this would not apply to me. Nor would it apply to someone not interested in that. Another chapter is called, "How to Handle Negative People". This would probably be useful for most people at some point during the year, but not necessarily on the week it happens to come up.

There is a listing of all the topics in the table of contents, but that it doesn't seem to have any particular subject organization beyond the order things appear in the book. I wouldn't be likely to pick up this book if there was something specific I wanted to meditate on because of this format.

I think I will keep it around and read it occasionally, hopefully it will be more helpful than my original opinion indicates.
