It’s not like your teenage years where you can sail through and it all works out in the end because at the end of the day you had parents and or friends guiding you. I can see why some who have reached 25+ might not like it but as a 22 year old who got her degree and waited for something to push me in any direction, this did. Some of the recent reviews almost made me not read the book but the book was very good. If you're anything after 22 and you decide to read this book, use it with some criticism and remember the book is just an opinion, either way. Sources that give you practical advice on how to be a better and happier human instead of making you feel like you're already too late after 30 if you weren't thoughtful and productive enough. There are so many amazing sources out there that can help understand yourself, your brain, your emotions. Even more, I can imagine how this book might be harmful for people who are depressed and lost in their life. I am 25 and I was coming for some inspiration but the book left me angry and disappointed. I believe in good intentions of the author but oh boy, was there any self-help book that made me feel more guilty about my decisions - which aren't even bad at all - than this one? I doubt so. Meg Ray has very strong opinions of what is 'right and wrong', and the entire book felt very black and white to me in its judgements, like there is nothing in between. All the actually good thoughts there got completely lost for me in the assertive tone of voice.
