Re: What do you think about the conversational writing style and the way that the book is presented?
Although I enjoy the conversational style of writing a book, I feel that there is a fine line between conversational and unprofessional. There are multiple instances within the book which could have used some editing and still could have retained the writer's casual attitude.Sushan wrote: ↑01 May 2021, 00:09 "I have divided this book into two parts. One part is focused on discovering your dream (Dream Sparks). The other, on realizing the dream (Realization Strategies). Start wherever you find that you need the most support. If you are a discipline machine, but are not really sure where you are headed, start with Part 1. If you have a dream yet find it difficult to execute, go ahead and start with Part 2." (Location 47)
As the above quote says the author has organized this book in a way that the reader can customize his reading experience as per his need. It will prevent the reader from merely reading the book from page 01 to the end.
And also the author has included a section called "Try this" at the end of each chapter. With that he has invited the author as well as given him a way to practically apply what has been discussed in the chapter.
What do you think about this conversational presentation style? Is it the best way for this sort of a self-help book? Has it increased its value and its applicability as a self-help book?

This is for the singular reason that compared to boring, old educational text styled writing, conversational actively engages the reader and speaks to them not at them.
So yes, I love the way the book is presented and it's exceptional conversational writing style.

True but there were alot of vague statements in this book, which made me dislike the writing style. But the order of the book was fascinating.Yvonne Monique wrote: ↑03 May 2021, 03:35 I like the fact that the book does not need to be read in a specific order, but that the reader can choose to read the parts that he/she is interested in most. The conversational writing style also helps to engage the reader and makes it easier to absorb the book's content.

I agree with you, the conversational style made the book appealing but the pace was really discouraging, it was too fast for a self-help book.Saint Bruno wrote: ↑01 May 2021, 00:49 Of course! I think self-help books written in a conversational tone not only makes the book more engaging but makes the reader to grab the message in a more relaxed frame of mind. So this author's participatory approach is commendable.
