I'm not a fan of non-fiction, and I usually don't read it at all. But there was something about this book that caught my eye. Maybe it's because I have the worst memory of anyone I know (I have been known to walk into a room and forget what I w ent in there for). I admit, when I started reading I was a bit skeptical. I wasn't even sure if I was going to read the whole thing because like I said, I'm not a non-fiction fan and even though the rest of the world seems to be, I'm not into e-books either. But I thought I would give it a shot and I was pleasantly surprised! (And yes, I read the whole thing!)The paragraphs are short and spaced out so that you don't feel like you're straining your eyes and you won't lose your place if you glance away from the computer. Then there's the information it contained. At the beginning of each chapter is a quote from someone who has had an impact on the world. Each quote is informative and entertaining, and goes along with the chapter it introduces.There were several times that I read something and thought, okay, I'm not sure about this. (For example- there is a part that talks about letting go of negative thinking and speaking positive affirm ations) But I read on and found that the author discusses how skeptical others have been about that same advice and then discusses studies that have shown drastic improvements in people that tried it! I can't argue with that! So after reading this book, I tried what he said, and I haven't forgotten why I walked into a room since. So I give it a thumbs up!
