There will be some insight in here for anyone who ever felt they were in over their head. Some of it felt dated or too specific to be applicable to me, but overall a worthwhile read for this first-gen college graduate.

Meh.
Difficult (academic) to read casually.
Lacking in specifics, though the exercises at the end of the chapters are thought-provoking.
Didn't really tell me anything I didn't *know* already.
