The title of this book made me very curious so I picked it up for that reason. It was interesting what different situations and scenarios were talked about. Some of the solutions seemed very helpful and applicable and others didn’t seem very realistic in today’s job market. It took me a while to get through this and it caused me a bit of anxiety and burnout.

For a clueless person, this helped me. Some of the things I read were "Duh". Others, it helped me see from another person's perspective. What I meant didn't across quite the way I expected it to come across.
