Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

If you're looking for intelligence and earnestness, you won't find it in this book. So don't waste your money unless you're a navel gazer yourself, who has never worked a day in his life and who thinks you can "totally" live like those "lesser" people for a few weeks just to empower/enlighten yourself while teaching the "lesser" people how to live their lives better--wanting them to practice the same things that made you feel so utterly useless and purposeless in the first place that you sought them out. The author is beyond helpless. She's the first Masai female warrior? Really? After training for months with a personal trainer out in Hollywood. Do real Masai women have access to these resources? Even disregarding that, the rites of passage to warrior-hood do not just amount to some silly run around. It takes at least 15 years to complete these rites at the end of which you must be a world class runner--a half marathon is an accomplishment to the author-- AND you must get circumcised in front of the entire village without betraying any sign of fear or pain. Did the author go through these? No. But here's the most salient problem in this fiasco. Being a warrior is beyond just "training". You have to BE a warrior. Live like one. Be dependable year in and year out. Go out hunting on your own, not surrounded and protected by men for a two-week girl scout camp. Try going out on your own in the savanna sometime and see if all that clap trap, navel-gazing gibberish keeps the hyenas from tearing into your plump flesh. A little suggestion to the author: Next time, try to become an orthodox rabbi or a Navy seal or an NBA player.
