Hi Jorge,
This is Andre Kibbe, from the Tools for Thought blog. I did a fairly extensive, chapter-by-chapter
review of the book (which Steve linked to above). I won't try to reiterate the review here, but to cut to the chase: I really loved the book, mainly because it it focused on core principles rather than the "life hacks" that have become fashionable in the personal development space. My only critical comments had to do with a few brief passages that were a little too New Age for my sensibility, and pretty much the whole chapter on Spirituality.
A friend of mine, to whom I lent the book after reading it twice, said that it probably won't do well, since it doesn't offer any quick fixes. He's right in a sense, since it's not a collection of tips and tricks (except for one section in the Habits chapter), but the title says it all -- this is personal development for
smart people, not people looking for quickie advice they could easily get on any number of blogs.
