I don't know that the choice of excerpt here is the best reflection of content. What we're given is the Preface, in which the author talks about himself and his journey, and then the Introduction, in which the author talks about himself some more, before telling us what to expect within the pages of the book. And, so, we really don't get a glimpse of the book's content, only the author's self-exploration. The writing style, as such, is too "I"-centered for me, feeling more like a memoir than a self-help book.
