A very interesting book with some good insights。 At the beginning I felt a little depressed when I realized that I'm on my way to the second half of my life without knowing it。 But it gets more optimistic。 Some ideas of the book I had already read in other books。 But there are also some new ideas。 I did not like much of the fact that the author considered the very successful and very hard working people as his target readers。 I do not belong in such a group and however I found some very interest A very interesting book with some good insights。 At the beginning I felt a little depressed when I realized that I'm on my way to the second half of my life without knowing it。 But it gets more optimistic。 Some ideas of the book I had already read in other books。 But there are also some new ideas。 I did not like much of the fact that the author considered the very successful and very hard working people as his target readers。 I do not belong in such a group and however I found some very interesting ideas iI could relate to。 。。。more
