review 1: It's one of those books with a great fundamental premise, but in the author's over exuberance in trying to prove it, plays it repeatedly to death. In fact, he tries so hard it almost becomes painful to read, despite his awkward attempts to lighten things up midstream. Am at p.100, but caught myself checking how many pages there is to go at around p.90. Not likely to finish, most prob skimming through the rest.
review 2: Fascinating, persuasive and sensible! Through intriguing and substantial psychological case studies, Wiseman shows how powerful behavior is, how capable we are of change through action, suggesting that our behavior is key to our emotions, rather than our feelings being key to our behavior, giving credence to the fake it until you make it though... moret. Though the idea is simple, it is also controversial, as the method encourages the initiating of seemingly ingenuous actions and seems to negate "as a man thinketh"; however, I can agree that there is great power in doing and that our bodies and minds are amazing agents. less
