I also had the perspective that he was teaching.

I like the way you think.dreamthewilderness wrote: ↑11 Dec 2018, 18:08 I feel that because the specifics of success in this book are rather nebulous, it would be difficult to make relevant action steps. However, I agree that including writing exercises at the end of the chapters would make the material more engaging and help the reader decide what their action steps might be given the kind of success he or she is dreaming of.

That's too bad. I am surprised at how many people say that action steps would have changed or hurt the flow of the information, and I wonder now if the book did anything for them.amandathebibliophile wrote: ↑12 Dec 2018, 14:39 Hmmm. I have an open mind, and so I like to think it’s possible that action steps might have made a difference for me with this book. But as it stands, this book did seriously nothing for me.
I enjoyed the read, but in many ways found the book's advice generic and not unique at all. In my opinion, action steps ask you to stop and think about what you read and consider how to use the information.

I feel like the author's whole premise of the book was for you to take responsibility for your own life. Only you know what you want, and only you can decide whether you'll commit to getting it or not. Including prescribed action steps would a bit hypocritical, in my opinion, and take awhile the entire point that you and only you are responsible for your life. We need to figure it out without hand-holding. In that sense, Wdowiak upholds his entire promise by not including action steps.
