What were they thinking with that music?

Revisado: 05-25-18

All the information in this book is very helpful, but the music is literally torture. Like, I could easily imagine it being used in some CIA black site to coerce a confession. How did such a terrible decision to play that song after every section make it so far? And why on top of the awful melody did the composer add a heavy, unimaginative, lethargic, depressed and disconnected base beat? Was it supposed to make it more dancy? What were they thinking?! It's clear that there was some conflict in the making of the audiobook since they wisely switch halfway through the book to a more modest and appropriate piano chime between sections. I still hear that horrendous tune dangling in my mind like a dingleberry clinging a poodle's rear end.

They practice what they preach, and yet....

Revisado: 06-07-15

This is an interesting self-help book combining a practical, common sense set of tips to become a successful entrepreneur with eastern spiritual principles. Although entertaining and genuinely useful in its unusual mix of spiritual and practical suggestions, the book ultimately feels superficial and disjointed. The authors rely almost solely on their personal experiences to derive universal dictums about how to prosper; and while they suggest reading 500 books on a subject that you want to be an expert at, few external references for their own subject are made. Instead of turning to scientific evidence and research to defend their claims, a simple "Trust me, it works" is offered. Many of the long lists of exercises seem made up and their evidence for success comes from their own experiences and from those who have written to them - a far cry from a random sample. The references to yoga, meditation and 12 step recovery were excellent but they didn't fully gel with the rest of the book. It was like a soup with lots of ingredients that had yet to fully cook and combine.

Still, I was reminded of the importance of gratitude, the need to ask for help, and the option I have to start from scratch and reinvent myself. And I'll admit there was something endearing about a husband and wife reading their book together I'm a relaxed conversational manner.
