“Amusing, honest self-help book”
…Metcalf’s phrasing and snarky observations make me laugh, I also highlighted (in my Kindle version) quite a few paragraphs that I thought were exceptionally observant and funny. Metcalfe takes you, the reader, on a journey of examining what (and who) is holding you back from achieving your dream, then finding out who will help you in your journey, and finally how to get you where you want to go.
