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
