Unfortunately, this book is nothing else but a panreligious book with a massive selection of circular arguments in business jargon. Since I don't use profanities, let me just say that I buried it in my garden next to my potatoes in the hope that they will grow better.
A generalized example of these circular arguments: if you want a red car you should never get a green car, because a green car can never be a red car. Only if the car you select is red, will it be a red car, because then you will not have selected a green car. Some people may believe that a green car can be a red car, but you cannot have a red car if it is green. The green in the car will always be green and not red. Evolution has shown that a fox is red, not green, proving beyond all doubt that what you must select is the red car... and so on, ad infinitum.
Science NEVER relies on belief alone, yet that is what this book asks you to do, with lots of references to "the original stuff, the thinking formless substance"=god, and a lot of bible quotes.
Sorry, but I can't recommend this book to anyone, except as an example of how to write selfevident gobbledigook.
Almost any book on any subject will be better worth your time.
I will shorten the whole contents of the book into one short line: do what you can do, as well as you can do it, with the resources you have.
