Book Reviews of Sacred Bull: The Inner Obstacles That Hold You Back at Work and How to Overcome Them
Book Review: Beats the Pseudo-Psychoanalysis Genre
Summary: 5 Stars
Do not be led to believe that Albert Bernstein has written an oversimplified book. If anything, he illustrated with vivid clarity ten patterns of thinking which you may subscribe to or someone else in your life. I learned why perfectionism is actually never beneficial from this book. I found this explanation at the perfect time - and it explained my own behavior to me for the past several years. Immediately I changed and benefited. I have read plenty of quasi self help books/philosophy books and know all of the concepts of self esteem etc. yet this book really explained the obstacles that will halt people in their tracks that I could definitely relate to. I read this book in roughly 3 hours, and it is definitely the most important book I have read to date. For the bull of perfectionism for example, Bernstein says that perfectionists lend equal priority to practically everything, and therefore are exhausted in unimportant details. The opposite of perfection is efficiency. He writes anecdotes of fictional characters (I am presuming) multiple times in each chapter which clearly convey how subscription to one bull negatively impacts ones own life. Some of the bulls/10 bad thinking patterns overlap and rely on each other to some extent. Do not let the apparent simplicity here fool you, this book is gold and comes from a man who recognizes the need for one to be efficient in not only dealing with oneself but with other people.
