Did I miss something?

Just finished 'The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari'.

Now what was so fantastic about the book? Honest. Maybe I didn't get the point. Maybe I didn't like the narration and the way it was all conveyed. Maybe it was too much hocus-pocus? Maybe it was hard to recall it all for self-improvement.

Or

It was all about what most people already knew. It was nothing new. There's a zillion self-help books, new age thinkers, and courses that supposedly do the exact same thing.

Felt like the book was much too simple and random in its message. We get the same preaching in many other ways and often. What was different here?

Dropped by your blog after a long time... in George Carlin's words, "Why do so many people need self-help? And if you're looking for help, why would you read a book written by somebody else? And if you did it yourself, you didn't need help" Man, he's so right! :)
