Non-Fiction
Verdict: If you need instructions or inspiration
I have had 2 reactions to self-help books. They are either super helpful or not at all useful. I was hoping this would have some practical tips on how to read people better. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.
While the author's premises (entries and exits in different phases of life) are accurate, it's more of a common-sense discussion on knowing when you've worn out your welcome, and your entitlement to move into different "rooms" as you move through phases of life.
Yes, definitely, do that. I didn't find it particularly helpful as this is a lesson I've already been learning and refining for almost 10 years now. The author is more aimed at addressing the guilt and hesitation to move on rather than knowing when it's time. I guess that the transition time isn't static and will be different for everyone, but I didn't find it particularly useful.
I guess this would be helpful for a 20 year old who could use these lessons early rather than learning them like I did at 40. I know that's my personal reaction to it, you'll have to decide if you need to examine this for yourself.
