If you're looking for a memoir of the inner workings of the Cabinet, the run up to the second Iraq war, or other key events of Gen. Powell's turn as Secretary of State under George W. Bush, keep looking.

This is instead a collection of light anecdotes and advice of the sort your grandfather might give you when you graduate high school. Most of it ranges from the trite to the obvious.

I admire Gen. Powell and his accomplishments immensely, but this was a pretty big waste of time.
