Rating: Double Bogey

The subtitle got me – has to be about self-responsibility right? What a freeing lesson to be learned I’m sure. Well, be prepared to be disappointed. Amazing that a PhD can liken mindset to simply flipping a switch. Really, just flip the switch eh? Okay – turn mine on please!

Sure, I can buy that we have choice in the world. But there is also, the world, its pull, how we were raised, and our experiences. This book does nothing to walk a person through any process of proven success. A world view that people are just wrong or bad, and have chosen that – on a metaphysical level may be somewhat correct (deep right?), but the idea of there is something not real to overcome is a bit simplistic.

Just no depth to this book, cherry picks one successful situation after another to justify it, uses others and says when something didn’t work, she knew the cause, and how a person was thinking! Really… without substantiating anything? Again, if success was that easy everyone would have it!

What caught my eye: CEO disease – where a leader gets caught up in their brief initial success, and fails to keep growing and changing.
