by Andy AndrewsI had high hopes for this. So much for New York Times Bestsellers.
The protagonist, whose name I can't remember and I just finished the thing, has that intense high-level corporate job that ends in a pile of rubble. He loses everything and slinks home to his wife and daughter with his sob story, crying, "Why did this happen to me?"
It's hardly tolerable at that point, especially with the dry writing, but wait! When his daughter needs her tonsils removed and he gets fired from his ridiculous part-time job at the hardware store he considers killing himself in his car. On impact he doesn't die but is whisked away to Potsdam to meet Harry Truman who has wisdom to espouse and a document to give him that has all the wisdom on it.
Need I go on?
General consensus: Has some moments of wisdom but is not the best self-help book out there considering the reader struggles to ever buy in to the story.
