But the biggest takeaway for me is how to write engaging short stories about ordinary lives.

This was my main takeaway as well, as I mentioned in my review. I'm sure Tony Robbins, Zig Ziglar, and all the rest of the bestsellers are popular for a reason, but it's good to remember that wisdom can come from anywhere.bbowser wrote: ↑13 Jan 2018, 15:48 I learned that some of life's most important lessons can come in some very unexpected ways. I love the fact that there is always something that I can learn from others--no matter how successful, rich, famous, poor, or ordinary they are. Everyone has a story, and it is important to listen and learn from everyone.

Yeah, he lives in a different world from the rest of us, I think. Not many of us can just up and take racecar driving lessons on a whim, or ride airplanes just because we want to.AliceofX wrote: ↑03 Jan 2018, 04:23 To be honest I really can't say I learned anything. The thing that bothered me about the book is that for some people just leading a normal, boring life is a struggle, going through a day without becoming a mess is an achievement. The problem with And Then I Met Margaret is I never felt the author faced any real adversity in his life. Here I'm proud of slowly crawling out of a hole and he's talking about building castles.

There was also a very strong underlying theme of having to be a huge success and money was tied in with that.AliceofX wrote: ↑03 Jan 2018, 04:23 To be honest I really can't say I learned anything.
