Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

Broken down to its very bare essentials, what Bishop preaches in this book is two things:
# There are things in life which you can not change, but you are free to choose how you want to react to them.
# To actually change something, you have to act.
Even though I completely agree with the message of the book, I still don't like it at all. The writing style is terribly "chatty". And especially in the later chapters, Bishop starts to "yell" at the reader. There may well be people who enjoy this kind of writing or even need it to get the message through. But for me, this style is OK for a discussion among friends having a drink, not for a book which is supposed to help people improve their life.
