Wow. After reading so many negative reviews from amazon, I am scared to even touch this book. What happened? How did it go to NYT best sellers list for 22 weeks

  Maybe most people are disappointed with it because it doesn't fit into the self-help mold of, "here's what you should do." Rather, you have to think and reflect on your own unique situation and come up with your own solution. Just a guess from someone who hasn't actually read the book.

  I like reading the most top-rated reviews first, kind of like going for the top-rated comments on HN first. Amazon review voters are pretty good at voting mostly for the well-written, balanced reviews. The top-rated review got 458 of 486 votes for being helpful and gave the book four out of five stars. I wouldn't be afraid of it.
