I wasn't looking for a self help book when I purchased this, nor did I particularly like the title but the chapters looked interesting. I am glad I did. This is definitely a book that I will keep on my nightstand for reference. Had I read it at any other time in my life, this book would not have resonated as much as now so perhaps I was also in the right frame of mind to absord this book. The concepts are simple and the fable-like manner in which the book is written made it easier for me to appreciate the concepts. Overall, one of the best lessons/themes that I took away from the book, is that the genius of life is being your own anthropologist and finding out what you love to do and to simply do it. As an afterthought, the money will follow.
