What I Wish I Knew Before 30: Life Lessons To Inspire You To Greatness(Alpha)

by Francis Jonah

"I never had a parent who shared such life changing stories with me" Brenda LLoris, CA If you could have first hand information of decisions taken by others, their implications and consequences and how they resolved those consequences where possible, would you be guided by those lessons? This book delves straight into the lives of individuals and the hard lessons they got from their experiences. It will educate, inspire and motivate you. There are some of the stories that you can relate to, others you can learn from. To the majority of us, we will pick valuable lessons to help us in present situations as well as future scenarios we may find ourselves in. All in all you will receive strength to press on. Excerpts from the "there are thousands of good reasons why you should not take action, but you need to find one good reason why you should" "not all activity is progress" "It worked because I made it work. I found out how to make it work and I made it work." "Deadlines put a certain level of pressure on us to perform. Without these deadlines, we just do what we want at sometimes unacceptable paces" "You see, a partner cannot demand what he cannot give. If I expect you to go one mile for me, it should mean I can or have gone one mile for you too" "Partners are so called because they join forces to achieve a common goal. More often than not if there is nothing being worked towards, it becomes a boring exercise. " "You will not find many people who will go through your toughest time with you and still carry a smile. Bill is the kind who will walk into a room when all others are leaving just to stand in support of you."

“The premise behind this hook was good but I was sorely disappointed with the actual content. Each chapter is written in the form of a letter where the author is replying to someone else’s letter asking for advice. There’s hardly any context and the advice comes across super preachy / boastful to me. Like ‘oh if you just do this you’ll be set for life’ and things are just not that simple. I’m also kinda curious about the qualifications the author has to present himself the way he does.” -rebeccap

Review Summary

This would be helpful to young adults. These topics were discussed and covered with me by my parents and in youth bible study. My Pastor also covered them in marriage counseling before I got married.

Solid Reminders

Each chapter is a nice solid reminder of what is important and into lessons to learn with a nice rounding story. Some people would turn this into a 400-page book so I appreciate the straight forwardness of the author

Well articulated

The letters are well written, addressing the common challenges young adults face in life e.g financial decision-making,Trust,Loyalty, Love and persistence. I recommended it to anyone with 30 mins to spare and dig the previous nuggets of wisdom!

Generic, but nice

It was a little lighter than expected, but it did touch a few points that could be useful for readers who haven't had any good value models growing up.

Wisdom Speaks

I like the fact it only took about 30 minute to read. Although it was short, it was full of wisdom. Even the reader can apply the principles and life lessons to their own life. I would recommend this book to others especially our youth and young adults. They can learn from others mistakes that they don’t have to make the same mistakes.
