My rating doesn't reflect the quality of the message. In fact, this book was fantastic in helping me focus on big picture issues rather than small inconveniences. The rating simply reflects that I just didn't get into it as much as other books - fiction or nonfiction. Part of the reason may be the 40-day reading plan. Part of it may have been taking more than 40 days to read it because I regularly returned to previous days' messages (rather than moving on) depending on what challenges and opportunities I was faced with each day. Regardless, one of the better books I've encountered in giving advice about how to approach so much of life. Whether or not you like some of the messages and the purpose that drives the author, this book makes you remember things are so much larger than anyone's daily struggles.
