This is a lovely little book. As someone who has just graduated themselves, I think this presents some good ideas to think about as you go into the next phase of your life. Is it a little simplistic? Absolutely. But I think that's the point. I for one also subscribe to the idea that the grand meanings of life are not a complex enigma but an obvious, yet difficult to engrain, practice. Life does continue on and on, and if you keep putting things off for when everything else is done, then it will never happen. If there's one thing I feel like I'm learning in this season it's: don't wait. Do the things, make the changes, be the person you aspire to be right now. Because now is all you've got.

Quickie read; inspirational necessary message. When I re-read this book it gets ever better.

We just finished this tiny book in our literacy book club and we ran over 15 minutes, they absolutely loved talking on this.
