Actual rating: 4. But I'm giving this book 5, it's because this' Jay's first book. Haven't finished reading. It's basically my first impression. Most likely this will be my final impression as well!
Who should buy this book?
Anybody with interest in reading. If you're capable of reading a book within a month then you could buy!
Who shouldn't buy this book?
1. This book is not for someone who wants a book as an aid to overcome fear, depression, loneliness, addition, negative thoughts, relationship struggles...
2. Introduction to all the problems under the sky or maybe above the sky are written in this book...
3. Those who already practice mindfulness, meditation, yoga might not find much stuff in this book...
Things that will be interesting...
1. You might think that maybe Jay is the wisest person in the universe.
2. It's because he didn't dilute the subject matter. But he has made the content more relatable to 2020.
Annoying things...
1. Sometimes you might find Jay like a kid praising teacher to get extra marks or get some chocolates.
2. Don't get me wrong... Without fail he has written few words about people who has acknowledged his book!
3. Sometimes you might get a feel like, I should become famous within 5 years & Jay will write about me
4. You'll definitely find stuff you might not want to take from a book.
Do you want to become rich or make him rich...
1. It's obvious, like in almost all the books, you'll find some marketing stuff at the end of the book.
2. There's nothing wrong in that stuff but again are you ready to spend money to listen to him and to learn from him?
3. If you read some other self help book or teachings of the people that this book relies on; you'll notice that you're drawn towards meditation, positive thinking, changing lifestyle...
4. Unfortunately this book has the tendency to draw readers more towards Jay rather than meditation or mindfulness...
5. It's like a fitness trainer inviting you to gym.. but rather than guiding you to exercise and get fit, the trainer is more interested in selling supplements!
Still if you're reading this review...
1. Go ahead and grab a copy of this book.
2. Suppose, if you're surrounded by people who give you advice, & you don't know how they became instant genius, chances are they might have read something from this book or anything from similar books
3. A must read for readers who wants to know what's the current trend in the self help category...
Simple advice...
1. I followed few rules which I have broken when I bought this book..
2. Here's the rule: When it comes to self help, inspiration or mindfulness buy the book written by the person who's an expert in that field, maybe a doctor, or phycologist, or someone who's known for their specific talent like music, etc...
3. Another rule of thumb... It's better to buy self help book written by someone who's already dead or someone who's about to die. It's because you have their whole life before you before buying their books!
I think this is my first review....
Why I'm reviewing this book?
Honestly I'm disappointed. But still it's not a bad book and it's not a great book. It's definitely not as advertised!
If you're ready to follow Jay then you can buy this book and do whatever he suggests in the book.
Closing thoughts...
Once you start reading this book you'll get a feel like maybe you're eating up huge variety of foods & you couldn't identify what you are tasting!
Reading this book is like getting a taste of all the Indian food + Chinese food + Western food + some food from sky!
Finally...
While reading this book be ready to get interrupted by Jay himself through some social media!
Still why I bought this book...
1. I'm surrounded by people who can speak almost about anything after watching a movie or a 5 minute video... I'm sure they gonna quote from this book!
2. I like how Jay sold so much copies of this book! Most likely he has planned everything ahead while releasing his first video!
Finally reason for my fictional name...
1. I just don't want people to get caught up in something popular & lose interest in their pursuit of becoming more mindful, positive, financially well, etc!
2. Actual reason for this name...
Just search in your favourite search engine, "what was the first program written in C by it's founders?"
3. Yup, I like programming that's why I have created this fictional name.
4. Guys if you're really fed up with life, don't give up. Start learning a programming language. Just print hello world...
Why everyone should print hello world...
1. Hello world is a way of checking if the IDE or code editor is installed correctly in the computer.
2. As you make more hello world programs, you'll either stick with 1 programming language or you'll develop interest to learn more programming languages
3. You'll start to understand how computer behaves and understands everything as 0s and 1s...
