Read in December, 2010

I have to read these type of books for work twice a year for a mandated "Team Book Club". As a caveat before getting into this, I hate things that are mandated. Also I read a lot and have a huge list of things I want to read, so having to take time out to read something like this, can feel like a bit of a waste of time.

So now, I like Seth's blog and check it from time to time when I have the time. This one should have stayed as a blog post. It would have been good in that length. In book form, it was very repetitive and tiresome.

Also maybe it wasn't exactly made for me or my background. I'm under thirty (28), have never worked for a large bureaucratic multinational corp, mostly worked for smaller tech savvy though not tech based companies (staff under 50) where flexibility is at least mostly allowed and encouraged. So I'm saying this might not have been meant for me.

Read it if the description sounds like something for you. If not you should probably pass.

And sorry this isn't a better review.
