I liked how the book focused on following your dreams and finding your true calling but it just didn't do it for me. I felt like I was getting the same lecture over and over again... hate to say it but I was actually glad when I finished the book. ...more

Boyfriend loves this book and really wanted me to read it. It was good; simple, quick read. A little repetitive and far-fetched at some points. Sort of reminded me of like a Native American story at some points (one with the earth, turning into the wind, etc.) I would recommend it. Not bad.
