This was not that great of a listen.  The author spent most of the time in somewhat related anecdotal stories, as well as only giving moderately useful guidance on what to do to better yourself.  The last book I read “The Power of Habit” was much better, even though it only talks about willpower in one chapter of the book.  This book also mirrored much of the Buddhist teachings of mindfulness that I’ve been listening to.  It has been a really interesting how I’m hearing those Buddhist overtones in parts of many of the books I’m listening to now.  I think it has to do with the ideas being very tested and refined.  Western teachings on self-improvement are just catching up to the idea of being mindful.  That said, I still don’t agree with some of the other Buddhist teachings.
