I used to read Lucy Kellaway's column on FT and listen to her podcast. She made me laugh, think and reflect on business jargon and how absurd it can be.
I love her style of writing, her sharp mind and the humor. It was a sort of role model in approaching the language of the enterprise world and consultancy.
I was happy to read this ARC as I found all the characteristics I loved: humor, a sharp mind and a great dose of realism.
As I'm not so younger than the author I can say that what she wrote reflected some of my feelings and experience.
I decided to start a L&D certification two years ago (was the younger in my class) and I think I totally agree when she writes that you are not obsessed by career when you start something new later in your life.
I loved how she talks about getting old and accepting the changes of your body.
Her teaching experiences are really interesting and sometimes I thought i would have liked a teacher like her.
I read this book in two days and was totally involved in what I was reading.
It's heartfelt, gripping and thought provoking. It should be read by anyone who's over 50 and would like to change his/her life.
I strongly recommend it.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
