You don't have to "achieve" to have value.
If you want to be happy, don't read books with "underachievement" in the title!
Thanks, CE. The purpose of the book is to help one see the ways they get stuck and to help them become unstuck. I'd imagine, though, that it'd be worthwhile for me to see how I can become unstuck. I used to be such a go-getter and something is holding me back from having the energy and courage to move forward. Something has to change before I hit the train that's headed in my direction. Denial is no longer working. I'm hoping this book will at least give me some awareness into my issues so I can take steps towards change.

Unfortunately, I realize my health issues are a huge obstacle. I'm not sure if that's addressed in this book, nor am I sure of how to overcome that.
