I saw the author on a television program and was intrigued by the premises he espoused; he was a very dynamic and entertaining speaker. So I got this book and was surprised to find that there was nothing really earth-shattering in it but rather a clear, concise, and orderly collection of approaches to self-improvement, with exercises and tools to assist. I think I would have been better served having read this in my 20s, 30s or 40s instead of my late 60s but even so there were some decent tidbits for me at this "late" stage. At the very least, the author showed how enthusiasm and an optimistic approach can be great facilitators in enhancing our understanding and even in bringing joy back into learning.
