dont be scared away by the name of it
Don't be scared away by the name of it, this book is actually quite legit. The book is a very practical guide for life, and shows people about the things that you couldn't learn from school. School is great, they teach a lot things academically. However school is also a system. Everything they teach serve a purpose. And there are just too many life skills that they don't teach, or they can't teach at school. People who know it, gets a leg ahead of the game. And this is the book that showed me that, and not only by showing the principles and theories, but the real life uses made it so relevant and applicable to me. Now I look at things very differently and clearly I'd say. I really appreciate having read (listened to) this book.

Covers the mindset required to achieve in life.
The book gives helpful input on the mindset it takes to fail, learn, and keep taking action to become better. It focuses on what you can control and embraces failures and setbacks but with an optimistic "I can figure this out" mindset rather than a victim mentality.
