Very useful for everyday life

I could use what I heard in this book right away and it brought me benefits.

It's a podcast & it should be free

I listened to it twice wondering if I missed anything. it rather encourages the audience to buy the books of the both authors, which in fact sounds like an hour long commercial. I wanted to return it. the system refused. I would rather get a zen book instead. the content is not what the title is.
