“The School of Life offers radical ways to help us raid the treasure trove of human knowledge.” —The Independent on Sunday (London)

Great for thinking about all of the options.

It's a good starting point for thinking about changing jobs. Some of the points in the chapters don't apply to everyone, but they are interesting to listen to. Great performance by the reader.

This book has changed my life

I recommend anyone who is in the process of finding a career to read this book. You have to take the time and answer the questions asked in each chapter or not it will be useless. I have taken multiple career tests, and I am starting to doubt if there is even such a thing as a career you love. Because of this book, I have a clearer picture of what I want to do. If you listened to his lecture from the School of Life, do not doubt yourself and read this book.

Helpful

The first fulfilling career book I’ve read that has actually made sense. Gives actions that you can take immediately but also forces you to think big picture and realistically. Not too long either. I will be thinking about these concepts for quite a while.

Good material poor execution.

Loved the material and what it was portraying but the reader was pretty dry. Had to force myself to finish. Will listen again to get the content I missed out on when I zoned out.

Didn't find much inspiration

The book didn't inspire or educate me. Should've just stopped early and moved on to another book. I didn't enjoy the narrator.

Book TLDR: Quit now. Try several new things. Talk to people w your prospective job. Be like Marie Curie or Davinci...

I didn't feel much connection

I got a few ideas out of this, but overall my mind would drift. It was hard to engage with this book.
