Literally a list of 600+ life tips

For the most part, this would be a great book for someone in high school, college, or starting their first job. At age 39, I found only a couple nuggets in the list. Still, at only 1.5 hrs, it was a nice passive listen while multi-tasking other things. Personally, I think some of the advice given is a bit too binary/prescriptive (e.g. "Don't gamble"), since it is one father's advice to his son and thus not meant to be universal. Not sure I'd hand this in its exact form to my own kid one day, but rather perhaps draw inspiration from it to make my own version or something.
