For me this book has some lovely thoughts and ideas. Some very good advice of how to improve your day to day thought process into being a more productive, thoughtful and more well rounded person. However, I do find alot of the book extremely sickly. A book that unlocks the secret to living a richer life all round, also stops to tell you how fantastic the authors life is every other chapter. Telling me, the reader, how you're about to have some extra virgin olive oil "that makes you sing from the tree tops" is quite frankly, obscene to me. It's oil mate, enjoy it but seriously, "sing from the tree tops"? makes me want to baulk. This then dilutes alot of other things for me. Look, it has some great bits of advice and tit bits but you have to ignore those gushy sentences that to me seem to be someone saying how fantastic their life is. I know it is about enjoying the small things in life but seriously some of it, is far to much for me to swallow.
