Mindset affects every facet of how a person goes about their day, ignore it at your own peril.

It's not like a book to read so i wouldn't say its good.

There are some reviews that state she repeats herself.
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
After reading a few of the negative reviews, the prevailing criticism is that the entire premise of the book can be summed up in one paragraph or one page, and that the book is repetitive.

I could write the entire thesis of this book in a single paragraph.
