As the author said in the beginning of No More Ramen, "this book is dedicated to all the 20-somethings who felt they could not but learnt that they could, and then went on to affect a change", which I cannot agree more. The author begins her story by talking about ramen,which was her usual food in the high school and college. And as her idea, when one day she does not have eat ramen anymore, she can say she arrived the beginning of a lifelong journey toward happiness in the real world. This interesting beginning leads to her continuing discussion about techniques on job, life and their balance while the goal is to get a new view of lifestyle to make ourself relaxed and happy. In the book, the author starts her idea from little story about ramen about her real life cases and she inserted a lot of surveys and charts into the idea. This could let readers self-estimate themselves first and focus on their week parts. I found this book really useful to students who will graduate soon and get into the real world, since this book at least can give you a little guide when you are confused.
