I agree with most of the assertions in the book; however, I must admit that I wasn’t expecting the book to be entirely anecdotal advice without much context. It may have made a greater impression on me if the author did more to established himself aa an expert and to validate his perspective, but as it stands, I just felt as if someone was providing basic advice. The is very conversational and may benefit those beginning their careers or those seeking a career change. It wasn’t a bad read, so I rated this book 3 out of 5 stars.
