I liked that it was simply and not incredibly long drawn out advice.

The authors Matt Weinstein and Luke Barber team up to write a simple but very helpful book. The sections of the book aligned with the folk song, "Row, Row, Row your Boat" by Eliphalet Oram Lyte. Each one is a critical part of your life to be successful.

1. Row, Row, Row your Boat: You take an active role in your success. It takes focus and work.
2. Gently down the stream: Work and life does not have to be difficult. Eliminate friction and conflict.
3. Merrily, Merrily, merrily: You need to laugh and enjoy your work and your personal life.
4. Life is but a dream: You have the power to choose your life and makie it a dream.

Before this book, I really never thought that this simple nursery/folk song had so much meaning. This book is a great way to escape for a few hours and remember the simple things while having a few laughs along the way.
