There is a reason why this book is popular but I don't know why! Its about as old news as a newspaper printed last year. THINK WIN WIN! Synergy is real energy! No thanks. I felt patronized when I read this book. I felt like I didn't finish highschool or something. The book is good in that it offers UTTER COMMON SENSE to people who apparently don't have it, but it feels like going to 9th grade again. LONG diatribes about uneffective people, he didn't even explain what a "really effective" person is! Just what they do as habits. I don't know, it is very popular and pretty positive, but it doesn't offer what I think people need. PASSION!

Oh, wow, I know just what kind of book this is based on your review. I hate stuff like that that's just recycled blah blah blah that we've all heard and read before. I had a feeling this book was going to be like that and now I know, thanks to your warning, I don't want to even look at this book! Thanks!

Great review! Some people just need to spend 15 minutes thinking about themselves. A book like this may get the juices "flowing" for some people.

Eh, I don't really feel the need for another empty self-help book. Thanks for warning.
