[Lux · Rating 4 out of 5]

Easy read. Obviously many of the things he mentions do not fit to 21st century. That’s only expected. But the insights and suggestions he provides about the attitude that young men (and women) should follow is priceless.

The thought process he follows for choosing the right profession got stuck on my mind.

This was actually a surprise to read, particularly in the author’s writing style, tone, and content. Bok lays out his opinions and advice — via his experiences — to his male readers regarding work, play, leisure, marriage, and relationships, and what sage advice it is! Recommended reading.
