I am older than the target audience for this book. Some of the people that I have worked with in the past few years, people in the 20 - 30ish range, who casually use words such as the last one in the title of this book in a business setting, would be much more appropriate readers for it. So, what's good about this book? Well, I would say that it mostly does give good advice. Most, if not all, of that good advice is drawn from Buddhism (which the author semi-acknowledges). What's not so good about this book? For someone like me, who did not come of age in a time when it was considered natural and proper to use some form of the words fck, sht or ss in every sentence, the language of the book is distracting. It reminds me of some of the boys in my junior high school who thought that including the word fck in every sentence made them seem more mature, though it really just made their speech less precise. So, for me, that's a negative in this book. For younger readers, perhaps it is the only thing that will get them to read some of this Buddhist wisdom. If so, then that is fine with me. Personally, I would rather read a more traditional, and less profane, book on Buddhism.
