  • Real life advice

    Excellent real-life encouragement. “Foul language” is the author’s authentic emotion. Not off-putting at all.

  • Not for everyone.

    This is a personal opinion and not a self help book for sure. The swearing was a real put off. I expected some real heartfelt self help from personal experience. But, it was more a story than that. I would place this in the self help section because it did not help me at all.
