I love this post! I read that book maybe 15 years ago? It was amazing! I read it when I was going through career change and found it so powerful. I like how you applied it to drinking. It could be applied to dealing with any change in life, really, in a positive way. . I feel that I should read it again because my work place has been going through restructuring and there is some change I’m not all that happy about.
I think it would be a good book for teenagers too, as they learn about expectations in life.
