This book should be retitled to "Generic Man" and sold in humour section. It's absolutely comical how stereotypical and "generic" the author is—based on self-descriptions—and the pallid, regurgitated "advice" handed out as profound knowledge is a sight to behold.
From the start, the book lost me. It jumped into motivating your "reinvention", but it completely skipped giving the reason for why you might want to "reinvent" yourself in the first place; give you benefits, downsides, something. I also felt the centre-piece story is not something you'd call a "reinvention". The guy took up boxing for 8 months to win an event and didn't have enough time to also play hockey during that period, which he mentions a dozen times. Dude, you got a new hobby, get over yourself.
The book has at least 2 typos, 5 if you include the author misspelling his own acronyms. In one chapter he says his boxing training lasted 8 months, in a later one, it's 6 months. Two versions of the section on "fear" exist in different chapters, suggesting the author himself doesn't know what his book contains. Some of the guest sections appear to be missing entire sentences.
In an early chapter, the author claims the Earth is 6 billion years old. It's such a basic error that it puts into question all the other scientific claims in the book, which are often presented very loosly, like "scientist with long credentials ... guess what? They found this! La-la-la". A wide number of points the author makes are of the "they say" variety—no substance. (In one instance, the author repeats a "they say" claim in a later chapter, the second time saying "research says" instead).
The entire book has the typical feel of vain, motivational rah-rah speeches, quotes, and phrases. "The famous actor said effort is key!" And it makes you feel like a famous actor for a few seconds, trying to achieve greatness, but is useless nonsense, once the veneer peels off and you realize quotes don't change behaviour. "Find inner strength. Swim, don't sink!" sheesh, I really needed such actionable advice, thank you! The "financial" section on finding money for your reinvention is a joke wrapped in a chuckle. It literally says to just "do your best", ending with another helpful quote "Don't say you can't afford to do this right now, say you can't afford NOT to do this right now".
Really, this book is a vanity project. A mid-life crisis pick-me-up. Along with author's self-quotes, there are pages and pages of questionable topical relevance, where the author goes on about what kind of fancy manager he was where. The guy's done something he's proud of, great. He's looking back and thinking how he did it and has no idea. Ah, it was visualization! Vision boards! Telling yourself "you are strong"! And quotes. Lots and lots of quotes from famous people! See? You're reinventing yourself already! By the way, I used to be a manager once.
Don't read this book. Google "motivational sayings". Read the junk that turns up, for 5 minutes. You'll get the same value.
