Actually a really good book which covers a lot of ground, especially focused on how to shift one's thinking and how to design our goals / question ourselves and our behaviours. I highly recommend it to anyone just getting started with self-improvement. For those who've already read a million self-help books and watch all the videos and what-not, then the concepts are likely nothing new, but a refresh is always good.

The kindle version of this book is IMPOSSIBLE to read. Text has to be tiny to see the whole page, some pages just will not load, some pages unreadable bc of black background

On one hand I enjoy the way flex writes and the format of the book was interesting, on the other I don’t really think this book says anything that hasn’t already been said. This would be a great starting point for someone who’s just starting to think about their life and what they want from it, but it just didn’t give me anything new.

It was good! It was a self help but written by someone from this generation so I think that helped it to not be high and mighty and preachy. The writing was easy to understand and flowed well.
The personality types was an interesting approach, I liked the self reflecting questions in it, and definitely took a few pages of notes. It is one that I will have to go back to and refresh and to realign goals but I think it is set out easy enough that I can do that. I loved the graphics!!
I did struggle with getting through the last bit because I didn't have some specific goal in mind and it felt a bit repetitive- I know partly the point of the book was to figure this out but I read it at a very stressful, depressed time in my life.

I’m not the target demographic for this one, but geez I would have gobbled this up in my teens/twenties.

I really, really wanted to love this book! I am 100% the target audience for this book, I love Flex so much, so I was super excited to read this. I felt the book wasn’t very well thought out, all the referencing was done really poorly, and it didn’t really bring any new ideas to the table. Some of the sections (like explaining all the personality tests) seemed like page fillers and the book overall just seemed as though it was trying to be an extended version of a reflex game but didn’t really hit the mark. As a huge self help reader I was soooo disappointed :(

Didn’t make it all the way through this book as I wasn’t in a place where I had the time / headspace to critically engage in the activities! But I’ll return to it soon - I very much enjoyed the parts I managed to read.
