There's no point at which it transcends to advice that will move your life forward. No way around it: It's on you.This wouldn't be especially egregious if it weren't the whole book, but it is. Because each obstacle we overcome makes us stronger for the next one. No one is saying you can't take a minute to think, Dammit, this sucks. The pacing, tone, and almost computer-generated writing give the effect of a student trying to meet a page requirement the night before a due date. I would be shocked if Holiday, a so-called media manipulator, put his heart into this drivel. There's no need to reinvent the wheel! Lay down that same track.Īside from some of the facts within the actual anecdotes-on which I don't trust he's done appropriate research since each of them are presented perfunctorily and exclusively to evince his successful-people habits (and not to interject any complications of reality)-there is little in this book you couldn't get from Dove chocolate wrappers. You interned for a guy who wrote an anecdote-based guide to being powerful. Just do it! For example, if you have a contract from Penguin to write a self-help book but you have absolutely nothing to say, don't fret. Great advice, everyone: overcome adversity.
