I read the first half but then switched to skimming the rest. It’s long-winded and not particularly well-written. I concur with the basic thesis that there are potentially more important things to life than work (or a particular job, at least), and that one should prioritize how to spend one’s time. Also, I agree that the more one pulls on the thread of one’s natural interests, the more likely one is to be rewarded —- Pasteur’s “fortune favors only the prepared mind.” There’s a. undercurrent of sexism, however naive, that made it hard for me to read.
