I found this a bit preachy tbh.
He goes on a lot about stuff that really can be attributed to confirmation bias - I've done well so I musta worked hard. 

I think there is a lot to be said about right place/face/time. 

He has gone on a lot of wild adventures, but I'm note sure I needed to know about some stuff. 

Other stuff felt lacking in explanation like, he got bored and moved on before finishing the story properly. 

I know more maybe about him, but I'm not sure I feel positive about the knowledge. 

Also both his parents sound like absolute w⚓'s.
