5.0 out of 5 stars Potentially life-changing- be warned, 5 Oct 2009
Excuse the bias here, but I am going to base my review on my experience of reading this as a warning; If you are 16-21, maybe starting a career/going to uni/leaving uni buy this book. Read it. Then read it again. Then make sure you understand what it is saying about how to live your life, and that you appreciate the research that went into it. This excellent edition features a painting by the American artist Edward Hopper on the cover (or a detail at least). This is very fitting. Go and find out about him too, and then maybe, just maybe, you won't find yourself sitting in a grey cubicle-world watching the clock and your blood pressure, hoping you've hit enough targets to buy that car/holiday/partner you think you've always wanted. It thoroughly deserves all the accolades it won. Here endeth the lesson.
