I'm not really sure what I expected, but this book impressed me. Some of the insights were a bit uncomfortable for me, but it was what I needed to hear right now. Many of the perspectives and actions offered were things I've heard of or even practiced before. But I have been in a rut lately, feeling helpless and as though my life is being run for me. In here, I was reminded that I can have control where it matters the most. My attitude and perspective are always something that I have the power to change. Happily, there were even some novel techniques and thoughts that I have never considered before.
Towards the beginning of the book, it is suggested that it be used as a reference book. I have to disagree with that because with as valid and useful as the content is, it would be difficult to reference one particular part. The structure doesn't lend to easily searching for subcontent within a chapter. Aside from that, I think this is a great resource. A lot of the material focuses on business applications, but you don't need to be running a business to take advantage of the advice. All of it can be easily used as an individual.
