DESCRIPTION:
Victoria C Leo said Don't let the first few chapters turn you off.

The authors tone is self satisfied, uncompassionate, even contemptuous in places. I'm a coach/licensed counselor so I know that you don't have to be so nasty in order to be very blunt. So skim.

Overall, good book, with lots of references for deeper research.. "Some useful tips" according to Todd Kinsey. There are some useful tips in Martin's book. That being said it reads more like a college thesis rather than a book. Many of the ideas and concepts are left undeveloped.Meadows shares some of his "why's" but often leaves out the how's.Like many self-published books it lacks polish but there's still some good substance.
