Naomi B. (tripleguess) reviewed on 7/2/2011 + 48 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 2

There were some decent ideas in here, but I found the book kind of neener neener. Rather than core solid principles, the chapters are built on fluffy quotes, isn't-that-nice stories and the author's decidedly wander-prone personality. I appreciate that he understands so much of formal education (and employment) is meaningless busywork, but that doesn't automatically mean that you have to shoot to the other end of the spectrum and spend your life flipping off authority figures. Part of the core assumption seems to be that if you're not "sticking it" to convention in some way (for example, by supporting homosexual marriage), your life is boring. When he started talking about his volunteer trip to Africa for the fifth time, I got bored and stopped reading.
