It’s just too hard to make it anymore
Is it? What IS an undeniable, irrefutable, and unfortunate fact is that if you want to “make it” in today’s chaotic and contentious world, you simply are going to have to do more. You’re going to have to read more, learn more, know more, invest more, train more, experience more, socialize more, think more and yes, work more. That’s because with up to 30% of all US jobs projected to be automated by 2030 and 60% of jobs to be significantly changed by AI, robots and other types of automation – and more US jobs replaced by less-expensive workers in other countries – the American standard of living may never been in a more precarious position since the country’s founding.
they had it easier, but we have it better
Did our parents and grandparents have it better, or easier? Consider that average household income today is 4 times higher than 1980, poverty rates have plummeted, 30% of the population graduate college, and people live twice as long than a century ago. In fact, by nearly any measure or statistic we live a far richer, safer, and healthier life than in any generation before us. They had it easier, but we have it far better.
It takes imagination, guts and hard work
That is the lesson in in this book: it WILL be more challenging for some, if not many, to “make it” but we still live in a world where anyone, anywhere CAN make it, no matter the generation, no matter the country, no the century. It takes imagination, guts and hard work to get there…and then you have to take the shot.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to AHA-BUCH GmbH, Einbeck, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
