informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

A bit traditionalist in view but pretty insightful

Main thought of this book is: take your life into your hands and start caring about yourself now. This is nice.
Smaller details though not so good. It would be good if the author at least acknowledged that, you know, not everybody wants to have marriage and kids. And some people, you know, want but can't, because not everybody is straight and have all these marriage opportunities in front of them!
Also, maybe it's just me but the book makes it look to easy to get what you want (and understand what you want). Just do some networking, work hard for some time and here you go. Life doesn't really work this way for many of us, so it would be nice to notice it at some point.

Thought provoking and moves you to action.

Reading this made me realize just how "real" real life is and every single action, next step, decision can change the trajectory of my future and my lineage.
