What does it take to succeed today both personally and professionally? In looking for answers, one obvious place to start would be to talk to self-made men and women who themselves are successful. That's exactly what Michael W. Sonnenfeldt—an accomplished entrepreneur—has done here in this ground-breaking book. Drawing on the wisdom, insight and experience of members of TIGER 21 (The Investment Group for Enhanced Results in the 21st Century), and supplementing that with additional research and interviews, Sonnenfeldt offers real-world guidance and often counter-intuitive advice and conclusions. Among the things you'll learn Think BIGGER will inspire you, no matter where you are in your business career. It will also show you that the skills you use to grow wealth can be applied to making the world a better place. Your success can benefit others. Michael W. Sonnenfeldt is the founder and chairman of TIGER 21, the premier peer-to-peer learning network for high-net-worth first generation wealth creators in North America and London. He is an accomplished serial entrepreneur, philanthropist and most excited that all of his proceeds from this book will support the TIGER 21 Foundation for young entrepreneurs.
This book is essentially a series of blog posts filled with anecdotes from successful people. The topics are not new, novel, surprising, or controversial.
I actually agree with most of the points, I just find this book format ineffective. Drawing conclusions from a handful of stories isn't rigorous thinking.
By trying to say too much the book says too little.
Very digestible but there’s only so much I feel, I a woman of color, can learn from a white man.
Lessons ranged from insightful, and helpful, to not even knowing what their purposes was. This confusion was also due to anecdotes in the book that didn’t make sense in the context of that lesson. Overall good, but not mind blowing in any capacity.
I did like this quote “what problem keeps you awake at night?”.
Referenced a professor from my school which was a bit of a jumpscare but cool ahaha
