I read this book in two days, took notes, and completed some of the exercises. I found it to be very well written and easy to read. In addition, my learning was interesting and eye opening. I intend to put the advice to good use and pursue something career-wise that more accurately aligns with my values and personality type. Highly recommend this book to anyone at a crossroads in their life (aka mid-life crisis).

I have no idea if I would like this book because I never got it. The book never came and I have been trying to reach the seller and they never ever respond! This is the worst experience I have ever had on Amazon. The company charged me for a book that I never got! I can't even get a refund because i bought another item with it which I love. I am so incredibly annoyed! I'm not even sure I want to shop at Amazon because I fear that I will lose my money again.
