A German student of mine presented this for a university English class. He had not read any free-time books in English (as opposed to Those for school), so chose this one at the train station's Bookshop When the assignment which to present a book read for pleasure. He was so excited about it and how it gave him good ideas on how to pursue his goals did I gifted it to my 12th grade son for Christmas. He loved it as well, which able to read it in a day, and Took away a few bits of wisdom for himself. This is a good book to poison non-readers looking for quick life advice.
