I somewhat enjoyed the content and got a few helpful tips, but overall it's more applicable for people working in the corporate world. Also not great in audiobook format.

I wish I would have read this book in college. He has a great approach to figuring out what the best fit for you is in your career search. This is worth the read if you are trying to figure out what you want to do or what you want to do next. If you’re thinking about a career pivot, this book will get you headed down the path to happiness. ​

Honestly the best book I've read on leadership thus far. The resources listed in the book weren't available, but I got the point. Would be 5 star if I could access those resources.

Read this book as research for my job (managing a career centre). Interesting book that would make sense for mid-late career professionals. Talks about managing your image, building connections, and your leadership style. Has some interesting points and lines of logic. Overall, wouldn’t make sense for my students, but definitely had some good nuggets.
