There is so much modern world wisdom in this book. I’ll be buying it in paper copy for my 16 year old daughter to refer to again and again. Pandora’s insights are invaluable to anyone trying to navigate the innumerable challenges of life today.

Addictive Listening

Purchased this as a lot of people were recommending it but was a complete let down. Broken down into essays? And hard to follow at times. No structure or enjoyment whilst listening to it. Will begrudgingly listen to the very end but it’s not my cup of tea. Such a shame as I like the podcast.

Meh

I think Pandora is an excellent writer, but I didn't feel hooked by this book coming away feeling like I had learnt a lot. Maybe i have the wrong idea of what this book was meant to be.

Well Researched and Written, but Unmemorable
