This sounds like a motivating and inspirational book! I agree 100% with the author that age is just a number, and it is never too late to pursue anything. I went back to college at the age of 40 to pursue my nursing degree, finished in the top 10 in my class, and actively worked as a nurse for 18 years. Anything is possible regardless of one's age. Thanks for the lovely review!

I like the fact that the book's title would make almost anyone think about what they are creating if they like whatever they've created. Congratulations to the author for BOTD and thanks to the reviewer for this detailed and insightful review.

Your review is promising, Ellylion. Thanks. I liked the objective of this self-help booklet. Well, the spiritual angle is motivational. Matured people admire the message.

At least the author is not some weirdo. Such books are often written by people who themselves do not know what to do with their lives. In this case, this book is written by a professional with a good career.

Thanks for the great review.

You said it so well. Sometimes the authors can be just someone who has done some research and that's all.

A self-help book that is inspirational and useful for older people as well as young sounds interesting. I like the author's writing style and found what I have read so far to be inspiring.
Thanks for the thorough review which covered the important aspects of this book.

The cover of this book caught my eye I read the sample pages and definately want to read more- I just wish it wasn’t such a short book. It’s never too late to create the life you want , just like the title says. Very motivational and inspiring. Congrats on the BOTD can’t wait to start reading

According to your review, maybe I am not the target audience since I am younger, but I do believe that the content might help in a moment of indecision in life, so I will give it a go. I think precisely, as you mention, one should create a balance in one's life in different spheres. This book looks like something which might help into that and that is also short and sweet. Thanks for your review.

Just by reading your review, I feel inspired. I can only imagine how successful this book is in that too. I love that is the shorter read. Great job with the review.

I have read several self-help books of this type, but none focused on older readers. Therefore, I might give it a try.

It is very difficult to survive when you feel that you are not needed any more.
This book is a must read for older people. The book is indeed inspiring and focuses on an important topic.
The review is great.
Congratulations for Botd 🎉

This self-help book will appeal to many people. I like that you mentioned what each part of the book contains. Amazingly, the author was still able to find love and start a new life at a late age. Thanks for your review.

I'm on the fence about this book. I'm agnostic, disabled, and have absolutely no interest in ever getting involved in another relationship. I suppose it might have something to offer even for a cynical old hermit like me, so I'll keep it in mind. Thank you for your well-written review. :tiphat:
