(If you want to understand the hard problems of human existence, read literature. The royal road to that is to read a literature review, which that book almost is. Pro Tip: If you want to get somebody to do something, get them to read about it.)
It might be more relevant for the needs of middle aged people who are interested in their cohort. (right about now they feel boxed in by the last 40 years of choices they have made and if you can take down the gate they might knock you down on the way out -- it's frightening how easy it is).
Most young people want a lifetime mate (eventually) and that’s a much bigger ask.
