I purchased this book after reading an interview in which he talked about his time with the NAACP. The conversational writing style is great and provides the reader with tons of practical advice that can be applied with relative ease.

But, if your purpose driven into becoming not just a better person, but a better son, father, husband, wife, and daughter, or if you find yourself having no balance, and basically flying by the seat of your pants, then this is for you.
