I truly think that anyone who doesn’t know what they want to with their life should read this book. When I read this for the first time, I was fresh out of college in my first “adult” job, while also working at a local bookstore, and had no clue what I wanted to do with myself. I loved my bookstore job but my family was (and still is) pressuring me to do more with my life. Reading this book made me appreciate and accept that I can be happy with a small life if that’s what I want to do.
