Veronica, hi! When I saw this title, I "hoped" it was precisely what you wrote! I have been deeply delving into the idea of societal norms and how they dictate what people do in so many areas of life. As I find myself in another life transition period, I have also reflected on the value of achievement. A friend and I were conversing about our passions when we were children and what the heck has happened since! I think I would most enjoy the part of this book that discusses originality. Was there anything in here that inspired you to break away from our societal norms? If so, I'd love to hear about it! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this book with us; I enjoyed reading your review. Until next time...

Your review beautifully captures the essence of the book. I love how you highlighted the transformative roadmap, insightful narratives, and practical exercises that make the book stand out. Your positive tone and thorough analysis make me eager to dive into this inspiring guide. Thanks for the review!
