Book Review: Book of Ages: 30 by Joshua Albertson, Lockhart Steele and Jonathan Van Gieson

What I love about this book.

It's full of great facts about turning 30 such as

• On average - You have had 7.5 jobs in your 30 years. AND you'll have 2.4 jobs in the next 5 years.


• 20% of women are single in their early 30s.


• In their 30s women have sex and average of 116 times per year (the average is 115 times per year for men).

Beyond these juicy little tidbits the next best thing about the book is that it encourages readers to realize that life doesn't end at 30. To demonstrate this they show where many celebrities were when they turned 30.

• Harrison Ford was a part-time actor and full-time carpenter at 30. He was 34 when cast in Star Wars.


• Anne Rice didn't write Interview with a Vampire until 31.


• Madonna release Like a Virgin at 30.


• Martha Stewart was still working as a stockbroker on Wall Street - her empire not yet begun.


• Julia Child hadn't begun a cooking career.

The list goes on & on.

If you want a burst of motivation and inspiration that you still have decades left to pursue your dreams, take a look at this book.
