Recommendation

Reinventing Yourself is a difficult book to review. Taken as a whole, it fails to deliver, falling into many of the comfortable platitudes (”Own the human sprit”) and meaningless generalities (”You can tap into your spirit at any time”) that plague the self-help universe. But author Steve Chandler manages to surprise you again and again with insightful passages that make you think twice about self-improvement concepts that you’ve probably glossed over hundreds of times in the past. He does this in part by weaving in compelling examples including Janis Joplin concerts and a Matt Lauer interview with Tiger Woods’ father. Quotes from figures as diverse as Thomas Jefferson and Carlos Castaneda also add some heft to what would otherwise seem flimsy assertions. In short, getAbstract recommends this book that manages to rise above its genre, and even, somehow, itself.

Take-Aways

  • Everyone is capable of breaking free from their cocoon, also known as their personality.
  • Owners of the human spirit live without inhibitions or fear of what people will think.
  • It takes the same amount of energy to solve problems as it does to avoid them.
