Rating: 3.8/5
This book demotivated me a bit because I probably read it too early in my life. It discusses the need to make a midlife change, and it features many people who made a change and claimed to be happy, but then went back to their old jobs or even low-paying ones—and still aren't satisfied.
My final conclusion is that this is a pretty good book, but it should definitely be read at a later point in life. Sometimes it's better not to prepare in advance or know about things that aren't necessarily helpful right away. That said, I do recommend reading it!
Notes:
- The book is quite long.
- Personal relationships are extremely important.
- We have the ability to continue learning new skills even when getting old, rather than just sticking to what we're already good at.
- Being optimistic is very important.
