I have tried for the last three weeks to finish reading "Think and Make it Happen" and I had a tough time finishing it. This is one of the most boring and dry reads that I have encountered in years. I have started the book over three different times hoping to find useful information and ideas but the book only gets worse the further you read.
The book contains page after page of discussion that could have been summed up in a few short sentences. For example, Dr. Cury tells the story of Joao Paulo and continues on for five plus pages when a paragraph or two could have made his point.
I feel the many references to biblical stories about Jesus are told much better in the Bible than in Dr. Cury’s retelling. One wonders if he was hoping his book would be deemed more valuable and draw more buyers if it had references to Jesus.
I enjoy reading self-help book and usually read several every chance I get. I find it ironic that his psychological symptoms that he finds in modern society(discouragement, insomnia, lack of motivation, lack of concentration) began to occur in me while reading his book. How he can compare his twelve step program to great people like Moses, Confucius, Plato, Piaget, and Einstein …and that it should be taught in a classroom is absurd. This was a very disappointing book. Less that one star quality.
