63/100
👎 Skip It
Adam Landrum is writing from real experience — a genuine second-act career transition — and the eleven principles are coherent and faith-compatible. The problem is that this is a 2024 self-published debut through Balboa Press with very limited editorial vetting and almost no independent critical coverage to assess how the framework holds up under scrutiny. For readers already in Landrum's coaching community or who love the Halftime genre, it may resonate; for everyone else, there are better-tested purpose-and-meaning guides available.
