★★☆☆☆
A disappointing Perspective on the Later Years
I was at first drawn into the book's interesting points but utterly disappointed by the end. The use of the oft-cited marshmallow experiment in over-simplified conclusions was the nail in the coffin. You might want to read it but wait until it's free on Kindle or a dollar in the used form. I wish more women, more cultures and varied socio-economic groups had been cited in the examples and stories as the perspective was narrow. A nice try but a huge disappointment.
