This book is obviously targeted at those in their 20s – unless you are post-40 and trying to work out where your life went wrong. Farrar emphasises that we cannot escape the outcomes of cause and effect. Decisions you make in your 20s will determine who you are in your 40s.

He looks in depth at the two key decisions of this period: what you are going to do, and whom you are going to do it with (work and marriage). He gives practical tips for discerning the correct choice in both cases.

Many a person in their 50s has been disappointed about both decisions. Read this book and avoid their mistakes.
