Life's Operating Manual
Just about everything today comes with an operating manual -- from your computer to your car, from your cell phone to your iPad. Is it possible that Life comes with an operating manual, as well? That's the simple, but powerful premise of Tom Shadyac's inspiring and provocative first book. Written as a series of essays and dialogues, we are invited into a conversation that is both challenging and empowering. The question now is, can we discern what is written inside of this operating manual and garner the courage to live in accordance with its precepts? - Publisher.

The book starts with giving you hope of changing your life attitude. The core of the book is mediocre, at best. Reason for that, in my opinion, is lack of (novel) writing skill of the author. He presents some really deep ideas, which touched the thoughts that people think about in their lives, secretly and silently. Alas, it really only touched and not hit these ideas like a hammer that would make them resonate within you. The ending partly explains this mediocrity, but doesn't make it any more enjoyable.
When I started reading this book I did not have high hopes, therefore, I did not end up disappointed. I would recommend reading this book to everyone, nevertheless, as it might resonate with you little better than it did with me...
To conclude, there were some parts that will keep me busy thinking for some time, but I feel like I would appreciate more input on these parts from the author, not only gentle poke.
