I adore Grace Beverley and EVERYTHING she does, but this didn't really hit the mark for me. Really it should be 3 stars but the 4th is for the fact that it actually has given me some helpful productivity tips and it was incredibly well written. The downsides for me was that it felt a bit hypocritical (which was acknowledged) and it lacked substance for me; realistically it could have said everything it did in half the number of pages. Also I don't think it was entirely aimed at me and the sort of work I do (ironically it was kind of aimed at 'side hustlers' despite the discussions of how side-hustling isn't ideal), so I can't be too harsh really. There were a few inspirational parts and a good overview of what our generation has to deal with day to day, so overall pretty good.

A very quick and interesting read. I loved Grace’s humour and writing style, it felt like a loving, at times tough love pep talk with a close friend over dinner.
I found myself writing loads of notes in a diary alongside reading and feel super motivated to implement her advice into my working life.
At times I felt it was repetitive and didn’t always actually offer more to the conversation and could have had more advice/ activities/ things to think about or do. I also feel I wasn’t the entirely right demographic as I’m just working as a waitress posh grad so didnt relate to all of the talk about business life or office politics but overall found it a very good guide to looking deeper at how to activity improve your life/ self worth/ mind set and enjoy working life.
Would recommend !!

I loved watching Grace's vlogs, but this book isn't it, its a mashup of a lot of good concepts already expressed better in better books. I just wanted to finish it and not DNF it, but it was a real pain.

Very strange structuring and sentences longer than myself to say the same point over and over.
The ideas suggested although interesting seemed unrealistic - a quick glance online shows the author doesn't abide by the rules, leaving me wondering the overall value of the advice given.
Not sure a self-help book is suitable from someone who's position, although clearly hard-worked for, wasn't self-made. I'd appreciate more insights from someone who started from a much more common starting point that I could relate to more.
