Being the anxious worrier that I am, always second-guessing how I'm living my life, I'm up for any kind of self-help book that put things into perspective (even if I don't follow the author's religious background). I was really open-minded to the ideas Bill had to offer, most of which are good nuggets of wisdom creating a schedule that works for you, finding affirmations that keep you calm and grounded, and organizing your relationships. His writing is concise and conversational; at times it felt like he was talking to a friend, but his outlook sometimes came across as patronizing. Halfway through the book, the stories he tells to prove his points felt repetitive, and at times, judgmental towards people who don't live his lifestyle. (For example, he downplayed the accomplishments of Olympians working hard to earn their medals as fruitless, but felt it was totally acceptable for him to take part in boating races and working hard to win first place. There are several double standards that made me do a double-take given his profession and calling in life). His book gave me the idea of just simplifying my mindset and trying not to blow things out of proportion. This is just a simple read.
