The article started well until it changed from "you" to "I". After that, it felt like a mix of bragging and trying to sell a book.

I think its OK if some people don't get to live their dream jobs, some dreams have no equivalent in real life, and some people need to do the mundane, boring underground jobs that keep things together.

There's so little meaning (other than "Buy My Book!") in the latter part of the post that I thought I read the same paragraph 20 times

It didn’t catch me in the widely cast net.

I didn’t match the 1) nice place, 2) family and friends.

Apparently an ad huh.

Worse, it's canvassing for a political movement.
