My thoughts exactly. Like Gunnar, I identified more with the author in the first half of the book, but I still enjoyed the main points of the later chapters.kandscreeley wrote: ↑22 Jan 2018, 11:36 I can understand where you are coming from. However, even if I don't run with the bulls, I think that there are lessons we can still take away from his experiences. Plus, I think the main point of the book is to be aware of those around you that would teach YOU life lessons.

I got your point. Other readers cannot relate to some of his memoir but you will get few lessons from it. I cannot relate some of his story but my mind enjoyed imagining what the author wanted to picture out. Some are funny and it made me laugh..story3girl wrote: ↑22 Jan 2018, 11:32 I definitely agree with you. This is a book about a very specific lifestyle and one not many people can relate to.

Beyond that point, it becomes clear (to me) that the reason for writing the book is to attract clients to his business (Motivational Speaking). Concluding the book with a web address inviting readers to continue their self-help journey cheapened every worthwhile message in the story. Again... IMO, YMMV, FWIW, etc.
