This had some useful advice. Life-changing, maybe not, especially if you're already familiar with things like a growth vs. fixed mindset, the availability heuristic, etc. Anyone over 30 is probably better off giving this a pass because the tone was pretty doom and gloom - if you screwed up your 20s, your life is ruined, forever. The end. (I'm only being half facetious)

This was good and I recommend it, but it's based largely on some of the author's therapy sessions (with evidence to support by psychology experts). However, the fact that it's based on therapy sessions makes it obvious that these experiences may be more specific to people who can afford long-term therapy commitments. She also mostly sticks to cisgendered heterosexual people. The situations and struggles she highlighted are common for many people in their twenties, but it doesn't take into account that these struggles may be specific for middle and upper class people.
Overall, it was good. It's not meant to be for everyone, even though it might portray itself that way. I liked it and would recommend it with a grain of salt. It does have a lot of value.

Better late than never to read this book. Anecdotal stories really resonated.

Good questions and covers the main aspects of life. Uses stories to convey lessons and separated into quick, digestible chunks.
Main point is that you need to plan ahead and ask yourself what you want and what can you do to get there. Then do it.
But as another reader said, this is mainly advice for those who want a white collared job, are considering children, and privileged enough to afford higher education.

not me reading a self help book!
one of my friends told me to read this because I was complaining about how I hate my job (should I be saying this online? lol). in general i hate self help as a genre because like... what are your qualifications for telling me how to live my life BITCH. I BET YOURE MISERABLE BITCH. but this one is rooted in psychology which made it an informative read.

It took me a long time to finish the book. I remember being really frustrated with the work and love section, with the work section, I just found her incredibly condescending and with the love section, I found her to be rude and wrong.
The last section was probably her most reasonable and tolerable takes, but at this point I had a hard time trusting anything she said.
