Look, everything said in this book has been said before in other books. At some point you've got to ask yourself, "where did these people learned what they learned from?" That'll lead you to books, peers, and dead people they've learned from. And the deeper you go you too will see too you can find these advices elsewhere.
So if you have a long, long list of books read skip this one, you won't miss out.
For everyone else, yeah, if you have the time and money I'd recommend reading this book—your experience instead will be like the other reviewers.
Scratch that, even if you're well read read this book as a refresher. (Space Repetition Practice)
Or read this book to get another hit of that feel good motivational or inspirational whoo whoo. (Make those feelings of uncertainty temporarily go away)
Or read this book because it can be very validating to read the ideas you concluded to are the same advice being offered.
Personal Tidbits: Never knew of Stefan Weitz, Qi Lu, and Dean Kamen before this book, and others but it's these three I feel indebted for the introduction. Stefan Weitz, Briana, Talia are the best. Cal and Larry know. Bill Gates comes across as someone to get to know in person (without the motives of the author) and not through another person’s experience of him, but that can be said about everyone interviewed in this book. And for some strange reason I want to thank Elliott for always being there for Alex and his dad.
Edit: Also it's weird... all those Harry Potter references and no mention or attempt to interview J.K Rowling. I'm missing something here.

"A little late logging this. Things had come up.
Highlighted too much.
Highlights mean scrutinize this at a later date when I do it. What I like about the book is never highlighted."

"when i come back and read all my updates, will i wonder the exact time i've written them and why i stopped reading?
anyways, it's somewhat difficult to believe this story is not fictional, everyone always says the right thing
...i want to fact check everything on every page..."

"I'm glad I chosen this book to start off my reading journey.
I'm going to reread a couple of chapters—there's something special about this book that I didn't see until the later interviews.
I'll start a new book tomorrow. For the rest of today I want to recall and let all I've read sink in and deepen."
