Dr. Leman mixes psychology with Biblical principals and teachings to motivate readers to live better more joy filled lives.  He tells relatable tales of his own life and choices he made and also other people's stories relevant to the concept he is sharing and he use the teachings of King Solomon of the Bible to explain and guide the reader to their best self.  I would recommend this book to middle schoolers on up.   There are so many good examples of life changing wisdom from the King said to be the wisest of all humans.   The book explores where you are in life and who you see yourself as helping you see who you can strive to be.  He helps sort out what it is we love ie. where your heart is.   He discusses God and helps the reader to challenge their belief/non belief - addressing the whys and wherefores and expressing his own thoughts.  He introduces 10 life changing principles to the reader in his witty style.   He takes the reader from where you are right now to where you could find yourself with the right motivation.   I would recommend this book to older teens on up.
