No, if you didn't like the first part, the rest is not that much different. It chronicles his difficulty transitioning into adulthood. He also has some policy recommendations.
I just think it highlights how breaking out of the cycle of social class and learned helplessness is much more than just "making smarter choices".

Not yet, I'd like to, I think. I don't typically enjoy nonfiction, so that's why I've been hesitant to read it.
