[Dave · Rating 2 out of 5]

An absolute vanity book. . . If you read this and then also read books like The Second Coming of Steve Jobs or Apple: The Inside Story of Intrigue, Egomania, and Business Blunders it makes for quite the contrast. At the end I have no idea who's being more honest about themselves or their circumstances.

A must read book written by a man of integrity. It is astonishing to learn and hear author say about things he could have done differently and sometimes not done at all. It can be good case study for young managers.

The first real, adult book I ever read. Not kidding.
