He's a writer, so this definitely speaks to writers. But one of my readings was to rediscover my inspiration for my exercise workouts. So it broadly applies to anything we know has long-term value for us, but instead lose ourselves in news headlines.

I'm guessing some folks might feel it's aggressive, but I enjoy the directness, the boldness, and (in the end) its kindness. In the end, I don't think it's a self-improvement book. It's more a call to action.

Even the "About this Book" section kicks if off so well.

"Where butts need to be kicked, we shall kick them. Where kinder, gentler methods are called for, we’ll get out the kid gloves."

I'll stop there. I already look like too much of a fanboy. 😋
