[Matt Gwynn · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked that the entire book remained very connected to athletic-related examples (Olympic Hurdling). Being of a very analytical mindset I loved how well organized it was. Any job-seeker or anyone who believes they will need to job-seek in the future in order to build a million-dollar career should include this in their library. I enjoyed this book from the perspective of an entrepreneur because I believe the lessons it taught will make my hiring process more efficient. The book did seem to be a little redundant in some points, which is why I am giving it a four-star rating.
