I dreaded reading this book, because I like reading for leisure, but unfortunately as an entrepreneur major in college, this book was part of my curriculum. This book was okay, it was mostly a bunch of little stories told by various authors all relating to business somehow. It wasn't to boring, but there was nothing particularly spectacular about it, either. I will say though, there was something said in it that had me completely astonished.

This book did teach me a valuable lesson, and that was to be grateful for where I am, where I live, and what I have. Where I love, the average rent is $1000-$1300/ month, meanwhile, this book mentioned that rent in San Francisco, CA is $4,128?! That is WILD to me. I complain about how I don't understand how people where I live can afford $1000 in rent, but $4000? Holy fuck I would shit bricks if a landlord told me I'd have to pay $4000 a month in rent.

Read this if you need to sound reasonably informed about contemporary questions in corporate HR strategy which is a situation that, for reasons beyond my understanding, describes where I’m at this week.
