Your eyes will glaze over.
Its pretty long for the genre, (I feel ).
It’s not light reading.
Pros of the book:
Life altering .
If you can read ,imbibe and learn .Then it will make life interesting .
The author doesn’t just tell you about 7 tips.

I have not read the book and the fact that you mentioned that it is pretty lengthy, doesn’t spur me to read it either. However, I do agree with and love the points you have picked out and shared with us. I believe in all of them.
And this quote ‘We are what we repeatedly do.Excellence ,then is not an act ,but a habit.’ is what i abide by.
