Outdated

Some good ideas but the outdated tips matter significantly as they are part of almost every section. Don’t forget your note cards and using comedy! There are so many more modern ways that approach her principles that I got distracted by “updating” it all as I went. I mean, I could have listened on a CD! I am 45 and understood all the references, but thinking back to Al Gore didn’t help me any.

Bland

I would return if I could. Not offering anything other than common sense. Nothing profound.
