The topic of this book is a big one- and one that sorely needs addressing. However, I felt like the author didn’t really address the issue. Many times it felt like a tangent on another unrelated topic, as well as woes about technology because “back in my day”. The tips were mostly common sense and while I certainly learned some facts about marriage and life expectancy, I didn't learn very much about what I came to learn. Chapters 2 & 3 were the most insightful on the topic, as well as the summary tips at the end of each chapter. I'd recommend reading that, but not the whole book.
