Not sure if I can be persuaded to read this book, because not only do I dislike all kinds of non-fiction, but moreover, the subject matter chosen by the author doesn't interest me in the slightest. Also, in my opinion, "Things That Really Matter" are customized and vary from person to person and what's more important to one, can be second to another. I definitely don't like it when someone tries to impose and influence the values hold dear.
