3.5/5 stars. This was a fairly helpful guide for self-improvement, but I found myself not feeling as empowered as I'd wanted to while reading about each habit. I couldn't relate to many of the examples and felt like there was some extra fluff in there that could have been condensed. Still, it teaches some good lessons along the way.
