oh my gosh a “self-help” book that actually helped…
Here are some of the best things I got from this book!

1. Asking doesn't make you a bad person because at the end of the day ... How you ask > How much you are asking for.
2. The most successful people are 'givers' but at the same time, they are the least successful too. The difference between the two groups is that the successful ones know their boundaries.
3. Don't make big decisions when your limbic system is not okay. Don't make big decisions when you are hungry, sleepy or tired. The limbic system sends more neurons to the neocortex. Your gut feeling is always the first thing to react before your rational mind.
4. Hearing no is easier when we learn how to say it.
5. Give things time. Being bad at first gives you an advantage of learning how to teach it! Teacher=lifelong learner!
6. You never know what someone else perceive as outrageous ;) so ask and you might surprise yourself!
7. Make it MONUMENTAL, MYSTERIOUS and MANAGEABLE!
8. Don't prevent magic from happening by assuming it won't.
9. How can you connect with someone if you're so busy paying attention to yourself? stop thinking about how they see you or how they feel about you. Focus and listen on what they're trying to say.
10. "It's easy to not notice we're projecting opinions onto people when we haven't actually listened."

This was so fun to read. I love it. Easily in my top 3 self-help books of ALLL time.

Overall, I thought this was a good book. I had one issue with the book, however. I think it was written for a different audience than myself. For that reason, it's a bit difficult for me to fairly review the book. I appreciate the talent and work of all involved and am sure it is an excellent book for some readers.

I'm sorry, but I just could not maintain any interest in this book. I tried, multiple times, to plow through it, but my eyes just kept glazing over. Obviously, I must not be the target audience for it. I'm sure that it will appeal to some people, and it just would not be appropriate for me to penalize the author with a negative review. Therefore, I will not leave a review in any of my normal places. Good luck to the author.
