Talking I'm Giving Away Steve's Book

I've just posted a review of Steve's book on my site, Never the Same River Twice. At the end of the post, I make this offer:
Quote:
If you would like my marked up, written in copy, leave a comment below describing one issue related to personal development and/or personal change that you would like to learn more about on this site. The winner will be chosen randomly using Post-its and a baseball hat by Friday, October 17.
If you would like to enter the drawing, head over to the review here: Book Review: Personal Development for Smart People | Never the Same River Twice and leave your comment by next Friday.

It wasn't an easy decision for me to give the book away. I enjoyed it and think it will make a great reference book, but I want to keep the flow moving. I hope it finds a good home

If you are just looking for practical application and don’t have an interest in theoretical models, you are probably best served by reading through the hundreds of pages of Steve’s archives.
Have you tried the many exercises that Steve layed out in the book?

@seeker5 - I have tried a few of the exercises, as well as many of the exercises that Steve has presented on his blog over the last few years. It's my feeling that many of the exercises are the same, or similar, to those that he has blogged about. A person that is just looking for tips and isn't interested in the framework that Steve lays out in the book can get as much benefit from reading the blog.

MariaG - Ok, I get what you're saying. I do disagree with your assessment though.
