![]() As with Burroughs' previous works, I most enjoy his personal anecdotes & stories, and those were the aspects I most enjoyed in this book as well. There were things that made me ponder, and things that I felt that I tuned out because they weren't very relevant to me. There were things in this book that I agreed with, and others that I didn't. ![]() I've read very little self-help, so I'm not sure how to compare this to others of that type. ![]() It means that I don't like the self-help genre. So does that mean I didn't like this book? Not exactly. So quite honestly, had I not been listening to his voice reading this self-help book, I may have given up without finishing. He does an excellent job & I love to just listen to him read. ![]() He reads his own audiobooks, and this is undoubtedly one of the reasons I've come to love him. I did this one on audio, just as I have most, if not all, of Burroughs' other books. I'm not going to lie - I did have some trouble getting through this one, and found my mind wandering quite often. Almost all the other reviews I've read for this book begin with the disclaimer that this is NOT like Burroughs' other works. I'm not at all a fan of self-help books, but I figured it was Burroughs, so it had to be fairly good. ![]() It wasn't until I took a good look at it that I realized it wasn't his typical memoir-type book, but an actual, "for real" self-help book. I'm a fan of Augusten Burroughs' writing, so when I discovered his latest, I naturally felt like I needed to read it. ![]()
