After reading the reviews I expected a wonderful book. The author writes in a hyperactive, frantic tone - the kind of person you might want to run away from at a party to avoid being cornered. The book is chock full of other people's ideas and quotes... basically the book is a string of ideas and quotes used to support her own writing, which skitters across the surface and lacks depth. Take away the famous people and time tested ideas of others and there is not much here.
