"Cohen brings philosophical grounding to the self-help genre….Library Journal reviewer Terry Skeats noted that "Cohen's writing style is fairly conversational, and there is little technical philosophy here." Instead, Cohen uses case studies and plain language to guide the reader through the confusions, delusions, and unrealistic assumptions that prevent clear thinking in many real-world situations."
