(More customer reviews)Peter Fogel's book, If Not Now... Then When?, is a book that fires on all cylinders. I'm an avid reader and I like to read personal development books and this little tome caught me a little by surprise. Since I'm not over 40, I thought that this book would not be for me. I was wrong. Plainly and simply, I was very wrong.
Mr. Fogel has a way of dovetailing the stories of real people who reinvented themselves with lessons we can all learn--no matter what age we are. While the tales do deal with reinvention, as in people massively changing the direction of their life, it's also about rekindling the dreamer within us and reaching for what could be and should be.
The best thing about this book is that it is not pedantic. Mr. Fogel does not approach the subject matter with that smuggish guru-ness that is so prevalent in personal development books. It's more like he's a guide and he's pointing at the peoples' stories and saying, "See? See? See what's possible? And you can do it, too!"
I learned a lot from this book and I am sure that many people will, too. I latched onto it because it shows what a little effort and planning and dreaming can bring into one's life. In a few words, it gives one hope. Plus, it also gives one the confidence to take that shot whether you are reinventing or just inventing in the first place.
Have fun... Tony.
