I would love to read some books about normal people who went back to school and/or got into science later in their life.
Kind of like Brittany Runs a Marathon. Person living a life of partying and underemployed gets their life together and faces new challenges.
I am almost 30, had some life changing events, discovered science, and am going back to school. I have faced so many new challenges. Sucking at beginner courses, mixed reactions from friends, feeling like I am behind. I need some motivation.

It’s a bit outdated in some ways, but I’m still a huge fan of Carl Sagan’s _Cosmos_. The PBS series is probably the best incarnation, but the coffee table book is almost as good. It’s not just science, it’s the history of science, and why science is important.
