So was not impressed. Instead of focusing on grand strategy is focuses on the Hill as a person. So far its been more like a hagiography (which I hate).

I was worried at first at the length of the biography but so far William Hague has a light touch. It was interesting to read about William pitt the elder (or the "Great Commoner" as his was known before he became the 1st Earl of Chatham). The elder Pitt seemed to have pursued a sound policy: focus on free trade and naval supremacy.

Best interview so far was with the Coen brothers. They described their process and the strategy they used for the film. They described how they found financing and how they managed to sell the movie as a 'horror' to investors in Minneapolis. Their work on set as well as in post was also interesting to know for a up and coming movie director. The other interviews were not as interesting (so far).

So far extremely disappointing. Basically tells the history of various contemplative tradition in combination with his own journey. Where is the science? I was looking for manual with different methods to achieve "enlightenment" (for lack of a better word).
