I have tremendous respect for her, for what she stands for, and for what she has built. But this book fell short on delivering something substantial. I realize that this was geared towards teens and adolescence so for them, I highly recommend it. But if you are close to Sophia's age, you might find it a little too preachy...at times, like she refuses to take off her public persona to show a real glimpse of herself. I almost stopped reading the book immediately after the first chapter because of its eerie similarly to cheesy self-help books, but gave the second chapter a try. Much better.
My biggest take away from the book is the chapter on money. Not spending outside of her means until she had 1 million in her bank is impressive. Especially with today's youths maxing out their credit cards the second they get it.
At times I had a sneaky suspicion that she was writing this book to instil discipline to her employees...

I thought it was a great read for the not yet started young/crowd and inspiring money-wise for me. But I had that sense that you describe above. Your review hit the nail on the head.

My thoughts exactly
Yes this sums up my thoughts also. I am not one to start a book and not finish, but I was not impressed. I think it is meant to be a light read so the younger crowd can relate. (Yes, her young employees)
