Nothing Special

I would like to start off my saying when I first heard about the book and heard the title I was really excited to read it. I usually like a good self help book as long as it presents some new ideas to me.

I liked the idea of the book and how it talked about the powers of positive thinking and how you shouldn't feed into other people's negativity. I understood the principles behind the book and I thought they were good. But I didn't like the book for a number or reasons.

Firstly, I found it hard to concentrate when there were grammatical errors throughout the book. I understand that maybe this version is a little rough around the edges since I don't believe the book has been released yet. But aside from just the grammatical errors I just didn't feel like any of the suggestions presented in the book were anything more than common sense. I know that may sound harsh but it's honestly how I feel. In my mind what makes a good self help book is the author presenting their own unique ideas (usually something the average person wouldn't think to be common sense) in a way that helps the reader to essentially gain a new insight or outlook on live. I found the chapter on meditation to be the best one in the book but even that I found to be very simplistic in style.

I don't know what else to say. I wanted to like the book and I tried, unfortunately I can't say I succeeded. I don't know that I could recommend the book with a clean conscience although I'm sure there is someone who would like the book. It just didn't do anything for me personally.
