You are not an idiot, I never stated anyone was one for reading it. By all means alot of people can take some good things from it. I just find for me it was alot of principles and rules that you naturally learn through life, or were told by your teachers in grade school. "Think positive, be positive" "if you think negatively and expect failure you will get it" All things that were told to me by teachers or I read in the required reading throughout school. The book just expands on it, but I dont find that it neccesarilly speaks to anything that is groundbreaking.
I never stated I knew everything either, and I'm truely sorry if something i said offended you enough to state that about me, but I was merely stating my opinion of the book, not the people who read it, heck I read it too. I just came away from it with a different opinion then most. I was expecting so much more from the book & felt like i was let down reading things that I had already thought up myself (not to the same degree of course but same principles).
I found I came away with more life lessons in books such as:
The 48 Laws of Power
The Art of Seduction
The Prince
The game
Huananzi
Book of Five Rings
Again sorry if I offended you by my earlier post, it wasn't my intention.
