it was ok

I had been recommended this book by a few people who told me how amazing it was, suffice to say, my expectations were quite high. Unfortunately, my expectations were not fulfilled, since I found it difficult to read; not as in difficult to understand, but difficult because it didn't engage me. It was only curiosity & determination that got me to the end of the book.
Despite the over-all take on this book, he does have a few nuggets of positive advice, and is probably worth a read if you do spend your time dwelling on the past, or waiting for something to happen in your future. a
A friend suggested that I possibly live in the present already, which is possibly true, hence the book not giving me that moment if enlightenment it hopes to deliver.
I personally think there are other more inspiring books on the market, if this is the kind if thing your looking for, but for less than 200 pages, what have you got to lose..?
