2005-10-30 Good in parts unrealistic in others

Whereas there is a lot here i already know it is the occasional flashes of inspiration, and more importantly discomfort, moments where i am no longer reading about bob but myself, that are most useul.

Told in the recognisable parabal format, this book shows through the charicters how to change your behaviours by using guidelines which direct you to a decision rather than indecision. The key element here is that in dealing with a negative (how do i stop...) rather than the usual positive (how do i start...)the story becomes deeper as it follows the logical psychological journey that is experienced when trying to cure yourself of an illness (ie: procrastination.)

The one issue i take is that bobs company seem almost too nice. Its in the backstory and vehicle for the message, but they seem unrealistically as concerned about bob the person as they are about bob the ineffective manager.
