Query: Poorly written and simplistic

I was looking forward to reading this book but after the first 60 pages my patience wore thin and I had to put it down. The writing is unnecessarily convoluted, the examples given are at best trite (at worst condescending to the reader). This book is a fine collection of supposed nuggets of wisdom and truisms endlessly rinsed and repeated.Example statement:"What we have to join together these seemingly separate divisions [sic] of life is to walk the razor's edge; then they come together. But *what* is the razor's edge?"There are some interesting thoughts in this book but they vanish in a sea of poorly written blah.
