Are informații valoroase, dar m-a prins destul de greu, dar am ajuns până la final.... unde finalul a avut un impact mai mare asupra mea

Kind of interesting but I didn't feel like I got a lot out of it

First, a correction-this book is by both Guy Claxton and Bill Lucas.

I found this book to be of little benefit. The book did not capture my interest, or offer any lasting and useful insights. I hope this is more because of me than the book, for what it seeks to do would be very useful. However, at this stage, I cannot recommend it.
