I was looking for a book that had real practical lessons to teach. A "how to" on escaping average, this is a book about someone elses journey. Yes you can use the tactics the author used but they are specific to one kind of career writing. I also found repeatition in his story in each chapter and I agree this could have been a short story in place of a book. Where's the steps to making the change? Networking (duh), less time spent on mindless entertainment, unplugging from technology, and getting back to hobbies that become careers.
What about a person who has skills in their career but is not one who is ready or even wants public attention. I want to make waves but I want to be the brains behind someone elses face. How to be the introverted success story? I like to solve problems I don't want to stand up talking about it. We know that is where a lot of these self-help folks make their money, in speaking engagements, blogs, or pod-cast subscriptions.
So to me this is not a self-help book, but a story of someone who changed their average into extrodinary.
