Rating: 
- ALOT of meandering...
I think I have an idea of what the writer is trying to accomplish but his book could have been simpler and more concise. I found the book difficult to apprehend for people frustrated in life and unsure of what to do next. I'd like to give this warning...if you aren't inclined towards religion you will have problems with this book because the author uses God as an affirmative defense for the outcome of every decision the reader has to make.

As a disillusioned corporate worker trying to change careers, I really needed practical, real-world advice.
