In the Introduction, the author makes it very clear that "Eureka!" will not come fast. In fact, he makes the reader wonder if today's definition of "Eureka" is really what we want in the long run. He asks if our actions really reflect our priorities suggesting that many spend more time on matters of lesser importance (such as work or play) at the expense of matter more important (such as family and spiritual health.)
I once heard someone say, "We spend too much time, so we can spend money that we don't have, to buy things that we don't need, to impress other who we don't like." It's funny, but the beginning of the author's thesis is something similar.
This is a thinking person's book for people who want to leave this world a better place. It's not for the apathetic or lazy. It's not a get rich and thin fast book.
I would have rated the book higher, but I'm not finished with it. Perhaps when I finish, I will give it a higher rating. It is definitely worth reading. In fact, I might buy it as gifts for friends and family of all ages.
