I agree completely with the critical review by the NY Journal of Books above, except for one thing. That reviewer refers to the author's use of nostrums, whereas I would simply call them platitudes. I grew very weary of the platitudes at the beginning of each chapter, platitudes that were not even particularly well used to develop the theme of each chapter, and despite trying to plough through to the end of the book, it was increasingly apparent that it would be same-old same-old, and not worth bothering to finish.
