Since the general public doesn't really get the difference, this kind of work runs the risk of offering conflicting advice. But, as with most books in this genre, citations of published research in psychology and social science end up being more for social proof than the legitimacy of the ideas. If you follow the four-step system, you will probably be better off, which is why I'm not too harsh on the overall message. The practical suggestions themselves are pretty good. (That sounds harsher than I mean it to be.) The problem, as this book demonstrates, is that if you only got to the advice, you'd have an extended blog post. I'm more interested in the advice than another collection of Malcolm Gladwell slice of life tales. With a book like this, I don't care that much about the stories.

I think it's because I've got fatigue from this genre of popular self-help books that try to weave narratives into a review of cutting-edge science. The book was structured well, flowed pretty easily, and I didn't have trouble skipping past the parts I didn't care about (of which there were many more on this below).Īll that said, this book didn't really click with me.

In the plus column, I like and agree with much of the message and the tactics. There was a lot good here, but something fell flat for me.
