Quick easy read. Very insightful! Did feel a bit self promoting. Almost every chapter had a reference to a resource he offered on his website.

Don't let this prevent you from reading it. I still recommend it.

I liked this book and thought it was very good, very wise. I wish there were more for singles and for women...and especially single women. Both who have children and those who do not. Some things would be the the same but there's also MANY differences that I think should be highlighted.

It is short and concise and covers more and than just the business world, but I wish there was even more. What is there is very wise.

It’s been a long time since I read an entire book in one sitting, but I couldn’t put this one down. If you want to compassionately understand adults in other stages of life, this is a great tool. It’s brief but pithy, with lots of wise ideas. Although primarily directed towards leaders, it’s applicable to all adults. I plan to keep my copy handy and gift it to others.

Bobb Biehl writes a cool thought provoking book, capturing the idea of what we ought to think about and do in each decade of our lives, as well as take a step back and remember to soak in every moment. Given to me by a friend, and I highly suggest it!

I will be revisiting it every decade

Quick, encouraging Read about the decades of our life— what to expect and what to look forward to. Highlights key markers of each decade of life and guides in keeping a healthy mental perspective.

A surface level self-help that touches on some useful topics with regrettable brevity. Perhaps some of the repeated pitches for his other books could have been replaced with some meat on the bone.
