Good Advice, but Definitely a Book of its Time
Got to a part of the book where he began to talk about black people as being backward and primitive, incapable of higher thinking. Personally, I couldn't read past this point. If you can, you'll find it beneficial in learning the Art of Living.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS PUBLISHER
The book resembles a cheap children's book. The sentences keep repeating themselves. It's a truly horrible copy. Buy from Penguin instead.
