I enjoyed this book because, whilst the skills may initially seem obvious (resilience, adaptability etc), in reality I think they are challenging for all of us. I found it really helpful to understand each skill in more depth and liked that there was lots of practical help to understand my own strengths and weaknesses and ways to improve.

I bought this at a tech conference and tried to read it in my hotel that evening. It was very hard to get through because I felt like I’ve read the better version of this book before.
