I loved the cover of this one (props to David Fassett) and really wanted to like the actual book, too, but it was just okay.
It seemed unfocused in the beginning. The examples given were not personal anecdotes or even very specific in nature - very big-picture, which I didn't connect with. There was a lot of jargon and "big words" that interrupted the flow of the text for me. (Exceptions to these complaints are chapters 6 and 7.)
I did like some of it, but it wasn't my favorite on the whole.
