		<description>Hi Ross,

Welcome to OBV!  Well, to his credit, Steve himself sent me a very gracious e-mail, saying how he can see it didn&#039;t work for me.  You know, nobody works for everybody.  His achievement, both on site and in his book, is monumental -- and nothing I can say will take away from it. 

That said, it really didn&#039;t work for me.  Oh well.  I highly recommend you check Maya&#039;s framework if you want good theories delivered with heart -- now that&#039;s one smart woman.  

http://www.thinkmaya.com/2008/10/22/the-key-to-happiness-and-balance-is-right-with-you-just-learn-to-use-it-part-3-of-the-thinkmaya-framework/

Keep in touch, I look forward to getting to know you!

		<description>Hi Ari..

This is the first review of Steve&#039;s book that I&#039;ve read, that seems to express out loud (well, written on a web page!) how I&#039;ve often felt about Steve&#039;s blog.  Yes it&#039;s intellectual, yes it&#039;s academic, yes it reminds me of uni, and yes it is completely devoid of any heart, soul, emotion!  I was beginning to think it was just me who felt that way!  Cheers for such an honest review.

&lt;abbr&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ross&#180;s last blog post..&lt;a href=&quot;http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/willitchangeyou/mrzx/~3/431542388/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Why I’ve always hated goals&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/abbr&gt;&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Hi Lovelyn,

If that&#039;s the case, I&#039;m really glad you&#039;re hanging out at my site!  It must be quite a challenge for you around here.  ;-)

I actually admire brevity.  I wouldn&#039;t say short is always more mature, but for my evolution, that&#039;s what I aspire to.  So in a few months, perhaps I&#039;ll be more to your liking. ;-)

		<description>Hi Stacey,

It&#039;s worth a read, for sure.  But as with any books, check it out when it arrives at your local library.  In my opinion, nobody makes more sense than Steve.  ;-)

		<description>I once watched an accomplished guitar player perform flawlessly. It was too flawless. He might as well have been a robot. The performance left me impressed, but not touched; appreciative, but not elevated or motivated or emotionally charged in any way. This book sounds the same.</description>

		<description>Hey Ari,
I&#039;m glad to see that you got to review Steve&#039;s book too. 

I agree with what you said about writing what works best for ourselves. I tend to have a short attention span and struggle reading an entire blog post if it&#039;s more than 500 words long. So I tend to write shorter posts. They&#039;ve been getting longer, but they&#039;re still short compared to what most people write.</description>
