Summary

This inspiring and encouraging book from respected consultant Robert L。 Dilenschneider provides 25 fascinating and diverse profiles of iconic men and women that show where they were at or near age 25--and how they built their legacies across a range of careers， including the arts， business， science， and government。

Do you think Albert Einstein had his act together by his mid-20s？ Think again。 Would you assume style icon and humanitarian Audrey Hepburn's life was always as beautiful as she was？ Far from it。 At the other end of the spectrum is the revolutionary Steve Jobs， who was at the top of his game by age 25。 But Jobs's beginnings were marked by his adoption， displacement， bullying， and then a rocky personal life。 This absorbing book examines the trajectories of 25 iconic figures--from Toni Morrison to Albert Einstein and Golda Meir to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart--to reveal where they were in their lives in their mid-twenties and the choices that enabled them to make their historic marks。

For those who are coming of age now， and for those who care about them and their futures， these captivating profiles provide inspiration， instruction， and encouragement。

This book is a set of 25 stories about 25 men and women who have mailed their skills by the age of 25。 This book is interesting by telling about their lives， achievements， success and failures， as well as their aspirations。 Many of the stories I have found inspiring and seductive that regardless your background and starting point in life， your growth mindset is what counts。

Thank you for NetGalley and Citadel Press for sharing an ARC with me， in exchange for my honest review。 I first want to say， this is not my typical read。 This is not the kind of book I would just pick up， but being 25 I felt compelled to read this for inspiration。 The books perfectly captures how I， personally， view the thought of my future—daunting。 I think pointing this out and realizing it is an issue frames the book and the look at the lives of known accomplished peoples。 I did not enjoy the Thank you for NetGalley and Citadel Press for sharing an ARC with me， in exchange for my honest review。 I first want to say， this is not my typical read。 This is not the kind of book I would just pick up， but being 25 I felt compelled to read this for inspiration。 The books perfectly captures how I， personally， view the thought of my future—daunting。 I think pointing this out and realizing it is an issue frames the book and the look at the lives of known accomplished peoples。 I did not enjoy the introduction， which read like an essay introduction。 It covered， in brevity， what the chapters would go on to cover。 It just seemed useless and childish。 As for the chapters， they gave good knowledge， paired with insight into applicability。 Some of them I enjoyed more than others， but overall， they were interesting。 While I would not say this book is a must-read， I would recommend this to twentysomethings feeling lost or stuck。 A solid 3。5 star book。 。。。more
