Review # 1 was written on 2015-11-07 00:00:00 Wai Lee I was much more excited about this book from the first ten pages than it turned out to deserve. While there were a lot of interesting anecdotes about people who made drastic changes in their lives, there really didn't seem to be a cohesive thesis or any strong conclusion - basically, he seemed to be saying that sometimes people change things up and it's usually complicated. Not exactly the most profound insight - it really would have made a great Salon.com article, but it was a pretty mediocre book.
