  Second Act by Henry Oliver is a book about late bloomers or people who discover their path to success later in their lives, contrary to the belief that success can only come in more youthful years. The author has given many examples of late bloomers who have become great people in society, some of whom have done wonders even as late as 90 years of age. He has shown how interruptions of life have brought about significant changes in the lives of people who had otherwise settled for less, only to discover that life has new surprises for them. He has also given great advice, accompanied by real people's life experiences, what made them fail, and what made them succeed. I like the real-life stories the author has given in the book. It was interesting to have a peek into the lives of these individuals. Good examples include the story about Frank Lloyd Wright and Yitang Zhang. The normal struggles of life and the way success is achieved eventually is quite encouraging. I also like the...
