Review Detail

I have read all 199 pages of the manual. It's pretty good. The price is a little steep, but still worth purchasing. I have to say that a lot of the routines do not work for me. I'm not saying none of the routines work certainly there are some that I will use in field.
The book talks a lot about congruence. I believe to be successful you really do have to use routines that match your personality. A lot of the routines presented in the book do not match my personality. You really shouldn't pretend to be someone you're not.
I think the book is great at giving one a perspective on how to create routines. It lays out the foundation for creating routines in a step by step method. The examples in the book really allow one to see how a routine should flow thru the different phases of the mystery method (opening, attraction, comfort, etc).
In the end I think creating your own routines is the better route to go. Reading the book definitely stimulated the creative process for me. I already have several routines flowing through my head as I write this. I will certainly test the routines that I've created in field, and wil post the results. I also will share my routines if they are successful after microcalibration in field.
