Tim, it's ok, we get it, you love your own book. Calm down babe. ;)

Joking aside, the book has some very interesting ideas and personally has inspired me to seek change in my professional and personal life. Although, a blueprint everyone can follow word by word it's not.

Haha.

I agree. It has some great and inspiring ideas but definitely not a blueprint for anyone. For example, I have no desire to live abroad so I completely disregarded the travel parts of the book, which is at least half of the book's content. I mean I did listen to those parts (via audiobook), but I focused my attention elsewhere.

Whenever reading or listening to something, whether a book, podcast, or blog post, I look for at least one idea that I can apply to my own life. If I find something, then it was a worthwhile read/listen.
