I tried several times to read it. Pema can be amusing and eloquent, but I never read or heard anything from her that had a major impact on my life.

Her attitude about things doesn't resonate with me. That made sense later on when the abuses of the top leadership in Shambala became widely known. For a long time she laughed at and shrugged off the abusiveness of the founder and her teacher, Chogyam Trungpa, and I think some of that attitude is in the book. That's my take on it, you may really like it and benefit from it.
