I wouldn't recommend this book for deep theological study. At it's core, it's another self-help book. Considering I've never read one of these "self-help" books before, I have nothing to really compare it to. However, the way Jordan goes about demonstrating the reason for and effects of said rules often felt to me irregular. I didn't particularly like the final rule, as it was short, and half of it seemed to have been spent talking about his daughter's arthritis condition, which I didn't quite see the correlation between that and petting cats. Despite these lesser issues I've had, I find the book as a great reminder for how to carry oneself. Favorite rule was probably 8, on honesty. Can't say I don't know what it's like to be dishonest. Loved the occasional insertion of a smiley face. Makes the book seem all so much more genuine. Although, it also shows just how informal the book is. Haha.
