I can see the great appeal of this book. It was an easy read and targeted information, and a lot of my friends this would apply to. I enjoyed getting to hear about many of the stories and see how things worked out. Good quotes and just enough new insights to keep me reading on. However, I'm 29 and much of this was built around this idea of us not choosing or not taking action in our life, and my particular career choice meant I had to be doing this right out of college, so I didn't relate too much to the advice here and it was many strategies that are just my natural way by now. I will recommend it to some of my younger friends who are feeling a bit lost, though, as I think it is a useful tool.

Interesting read but I preferred the second half about family planning and marriage. The first half was just about how to hustle and get your job which is an oversaturated topic
