As much as I would like to say this book really motivated me, I can't. I agree with the following reviews because the author does have a "my way or the highway" view, while I'm guessing she is trying to give tough love advice. In this case, I believe motivation has been replaced with a "shut up and do it" attitude. The book seemed to rattle my nerves moreso than persuading me to get over myself to reach my goals. The author also seems to give a lot of her own thoughts, which is fine, but it seems like she is talking to herself and relating to herself more than she is with her audience. The intent was good, but the motivation simply was not there.
