A lot of me, me, me. He had a perfect life. His wife died. He wept and overate and overspent for 20 years and no one offered him hope. Despite his perfect taste in upscale clothing and restaurants (detailed extensively in many pages) he wasn't happy. One day, BOOM. A beautiful woman came to one of his lectures. He dared to hope and fell in love. Resumed his perfect life. Cleaned his closet out of all the expensive clothes that don't fit any more. (a metaphor for cleaning out the bad thoughts from his mind and replacing with hope, in case you don't get it}
A few thoughts worth reading, but to my ear, very materialistic mindset underlying them, so little of spiritual value.
If I sound a little sour, I admit I am. I'm sick of the exploitation in this kind of book which sees to have been written by dictating for two weeks while he tied his ties.
