I DNFd this book because I was bored from the beginning. Nothing really revolutionary here, which surprised me due to it's high ratings. A lot of whatI DNFd this book because I was bored from the beginning. Nothing really revolutionary here, which surprised me due to it's high ratings. A lot of what Shetty talks about is obvious to me and lacked depth. He talked about spending time alone to get to know yourself without distractions, and really understand yourself in regards to personality, finance, confidence, etc. I agree with this, but don't need a quiz / questionnaire to figure out my areas of improvement. Essentially, know and love yourself before you can love others. Anyway, I bet this book has some good advice in it, but I chose to quit rather than waste more time trying to find it....more

After this part he really lost my vote of confidence even though I agree with the premise in theory....more

I got thru 20% and am stopping here because I just don’t connect with this memoir. I wanted to hear more about her seven summits accomplishment and mountaineering in general, but the story is mired in her childhood molestation. Her childhood is tragic for sure, but honestly it was really boring to keep reading about the sexual abuse by a family friend and about the physical and mental abuse of her asshole father....more
