review 1: I didn't rate this book because it's not the kind of books I tend to read; so I don't think it's fare to the author.John does raise some really good issues as to why we work our behinds off, just to poses things we really don't need or seldom us after we buy it, because either we're working all the time to pay for these things or because it wasn't really what you wanted anyway.He says we work all the time,to save up for retirement and for the time we finally get to do the things we like to do. When we could be doing them now.We should rethink the things we buy, the more you buy the more you have to work to pay for those things that you seldom use. The less time you have for yourself or your family.If you rethink your way of living, you may even be able to do the things you... more really like enjoy doing and be paid for doing it.It really makes since, but like they say not everyone does it, and if they do it's when they are ready. I does make you think.
review 2: I am sorry for everyone who hasn't been touched by this. It is a book which truly can change your life. It changed mine.Whoever knows their purpose for existing has no need to read this book. But they will understand how important it is to find out the answer for that simple yet existential question: Why am I here?I did not know my purpose before reading this book. I just lived an average life. Success was something which was "out there", which was said to important to achieve, and for which you have to make sacrifices in order to get it. Or so I thought.When I read the book (much better: I had the author read it on an audio book) I knew that there was an X on my treasure map, too. I could't ignore it any longer. Had to find out what that X was. I had to figure out my PFE. And I did. What a difference this has made!The book is written in a very authentic style. Just as an internal monologue which Average Joe would hear inside his head. But is well crafted, as it shows how, gradually, John, the protagonist, opens to the idea that life may not be an accident after all.As Anne says, the woman who explaines how the ad industry creates desire in order to sell by charging up items emotionally (If I get diamonds as a present for my birthday, it means I have found love/am being loved): do not let yourself be told by me what is right and what is wrong - find out for yourself!Enjoy reading this book - and how it can help you to find out what you truly want. less
