Bite size thoughts and actions
I liked that the points to be made were bite sized and actionable while also leaving food for thought. There’s nothing worse than a good message getting lost in a long ramble!

Basically a pep talk without much substance
I rarely write reviews and am hesitant to take a dump on an author who's clearly done great things with her life and who, I'm sure, has words of encouragement that some may find valuable. However - especially in light of the rave reviews about this very short book (really??) - I have to say that in all honesty it left me cold.
Labalme is an upbeat, inspiring voice, And if you're looking for a pep talk where the author extols the virtues of being a generalist, of lacking a plan or a goal, and following your intuition - mostly drawn from her own life experiences, with the odd quote thrown in, then this could be the book for you. However, if you're looking for an evidence-based, actionable, proven road map to bettering your life, then I think you can safely give this a miss.
Almost all of these books suffer from the phenomenon of Survivorship Bias: the authors say "I did this and look where it got me!" The implication being: "It will work similarly for you." But I often find these tomes filled with examples that could reasonably be seen as being contradictory in the lessons taken from them: the author cites examples of success and failure in her life, or the lives of those around her, and attributes the success to adhering to her world view. Fair enough. But how sure can we be that those lessons are truly the right ones to take from these events? And how can we be sure that, when faced with a similar situation, we'll get the same positive outcome?
There's a lot of talk about being in "alignment" with your life's purpose and your spiritual health. But I'm struggling to recall any truly valuable take-aways (and I even tried re-reading it in case I'd missed something - though I gave up after about 20 minutes).
As I say: clearly Labalme speaks to some listeners. I'd recommend The Power of Daily Practice or Atomic Habits for more actionable content. And if you're interested in how generalists can succeed, try Range by David Epstein.
