I gotta admit that I have had a lot of expectations and hopes for this book since I have heard a lot of good things about this book. But after reading it I gotta admit that this book doesn’t live up to all the good things I have heard about this book. But as always I will explain everything in this review so if you are interested in hearing my thoughts about this book then keep reading. 

First of all its important to say that this book gives us one short lesson for each 365 days to make our lives better. But those advice we get in this book seem very generic you would hear from every fake and sketchy “self-help guru”on the internet who only tries to sell you their course to make themselves rich and not improve your own life. 

Those advice we do get in this book are so generic that at times I felt like I was reading a ChatGPT advice on how to improve ones live. Which is the main reason why I hate this book as much as I do. 

This book is all about the “80/20 principle / rule” which I never heard about. And this  book just assumes that anyone who has ever read even one self-help book have heard of it and just doesn’t bother explaining what it is. Which is my second big issue with this book. I feel like this book would have been so much better if the author have taken the time to explain the “80/20 principle / rule”. But in the end in didn’t which I wouldn’t recommend. Because if the author wants me to buy this book and read it then he better explain everything he is talking about in this book without me needing to google what it is and spend time on it.

The writing style in this book is very generic and again feels like it was written by ChatGPT or some other AI assistant / chatbot. I felt like the author just didn’t bother to present this book is a good light as much as the author was concerned about getting the paycheck for publishing this book.

If you are looking for a good self-help book, then this book isn’t the choice. This book is in fact so far away from being anywhere “good” like comparing water to a book. Which isn’t even close. 

I Give This Book 1 / 5
