hank's review against another edition
2.0
Not enough clear take home messages for me. There is a very self-help feel to this book which completely turns me off even though that is exactly what it is. Lynch spends a lot of time getting the reader to write down feelings, affirmations, and general positive energy. All not bad things but the Saturday Night Live skit kept popping into my head "....and gosh darn it, people like me!" The affirmations were all mostly the same thing....telling myself that everything is good.
The parts of the book I enjoyed the most were the direct Tao Wisdom and Sun Tzu quotes. Perhaps I should just go to the source although I have tried to read The Art of War before and failed.
