surprising amount of valuable knowledge, which we can all take something from. I have a new found respect for Eleanor Roosevelt who has passed on much wisdom from the many lessons she experienced through her life.
It is easy listening.

valuable knowledge, easy listening

This is one of those books which you will most likely come back to with time. It offers great ideas in common sense way. While the book is outdated, the ideas are not. However, reader must be able to understand that the book was written in different time and therefore those ideas must be transferred to current situation. This might be hard for young people, who would probably find this read extremely challenging. On the other hand, it is so worth the effort and the ideas gathered in this book are extremely rewarding.

Hidden gem. Best book i ever found.

it's a fairly short book and you can get through it pretty quickly but it does feel for a previous time and that means it is not quite as relevant for today's world.

enjoyed it and very nicely read but dated.
