This well researched book is packed with the experiences and thoughts of 32 successful people like Anderson Cooper, Eva Longoria, Sara Blakely, and more. Most chapters in the book are about one person and have two parts - Katherine's thoughts on her interview with that person, and the interview itself. Katherine's thoughts are significant because she wrote this book as a recent graduate - essentially living the title while she wrote it.One could not assimilate all the lessons and advice in this book in a single read. Fortunately, the format of the book allows the reader to (for the most part) randomly choose chapters and read them individually - a valuable attribute for a reader like me.
The three chapters that resonated most with me (for what it's worth as I'm over 40) were Andy Cohen, Darren Hardy, and Gayle King. I doubt that I would have chosen those chapters 20 years ago. :-)
Reading this book made me again consider the question 'What does success mean to me?' Every graduate must find their own definition for success and then continue scrutinizing and evolving that definition as life goes on.
I got a digest sized copy of this book from the Library. It had about 280 pages and I found it to be a medium length read.
