I have to admit that I only skimmed this, but the core message seems to be it's a publicity stunt to publish the message that you should do work you truly enjoy and find rewarding, and not keep putting off to another day the chance to find personal satisfaction in your career.

And that perhaps one's gross yearly income is not the ultimate and best measure of personal success.

Clay Christensen used to tell a story about the atmosphere at HBS reunions over time. It sounds like this person learned early on the lesson that HBS graduates learn by their 25th reunion.

This makes me wonder if the whole North American cultural phenomenon of the age 40+ male "mid-life crisis" is the result of people independently discovering the same thing, from their own experiences and perspectives.
