Review

Better off with the Cliff's notes

I thought this book was long winded and far too wordy in what is was saying. There are some good bits in here, but it's all buried under story after story and anecdote after anecdote until it felt like I was reading an autobiography, not a self development book.

Reading a summary of the key points and actionable steps would have been a much better use of my time.
