What is the difference between a recipe and a meal ?
Answer: You can’t eat a recipe.
I’m nudging 70 after a long and spotty career in IT and I’m not so much retiring as being forced out of work by hiring managers who see no value beyond their own limited experience.
So I gave this book a good go and I have to say that I found it massively disappointing.
Like a recipe it starts with a brace of “yeah, so what ?” generalisations and boring research and launches into massive lists of stuff. I gave up when the narrator said “there are 14 things that contribute to ~” whatever.
I found the narration tedious and patronising and telling us how challenging this period in one’s life is, does not help. I kept thinking “tell me something I don’t know”.
And if I hear one more piece of advice about craft, painting, hobbies, golf, bridge, fishing or volunteering, I’ll just spit.
I think this species of self help is like fast food. It’s fast. But it doesn’t count as being nutritious.
