This is what America needs! With so many ads, offers, ideas, people and choices, this book narrows the focus of what life is, and what it should and can be by a series of mental processes that can calm and bring out the best in you. I wouldn't say this book is for beginners! I do think he tried to stuff too many concepts and ideas into a small book, I think an expanded book would be a good idea...something goes into more depth, maybe more "proof"? This is one of my first books I read from Wilde, and he definitely will keep my waiting for the next one. Simple but excellent tactics for mental health as well as personal success, for that, its worth a lot more than the $10 I paid for it!
