I think the usefulness of these kinds of books really depends on where you are in life. Personally, I'm feeling kind of old because most of the topics in here I had already reflected on or considered at some point, and some very recently. But I think this would be a great book to give to someone headed to college or wrapping up. Each day forces you to focus on your own beliefs and values and it can be a great grounding exercise, especially for someone about to make a huge change. The great thing about all the sections is you can also use the sections you need when you need them. You don't actually have to go in order. Heading to college? Go through Education. Thinking about having kids? Focus on the Relationships section and figure out what you want that future to look like. Overall the exercises were a great way to guide someone who wants to put more time into self reflection and awareness or being mindful in their life plan. I'm not big on flowery language so sometimes the poems and "letters" from life kind of got away from me.
