efsimpkin's review against another edition
This is an incredibly awful book. I ordered it through my library on a whim and regret not reading reviews about it before. It’s basically a kindle book ported to paperback, which amazingly has not then gone through a second proof read (if it ever went through one in the first place!).
There’s absolutely zero credible references in this book, with facts being pulled out of the author’s arse for all I know. The best thing is the references to renowned author of key books on emotional intelligence, Daniel Goleman. Oh no, sorry, I mean Daniel COLEMAN, because that’s who James refers to him throughout the book as. Seriously, if you’re going to rip off someone else’s work at least have the decency to spell their name correctly.
I got to tip number 6. I’m done. I’ll come back to this book the next time I can be bothered to read a hard copy of a Buzzfeed article on “21 tips that will vaguely change your life, apparently”
