The book title is a little misleading as it doesn’t cover PI Planning in detail until over 50% through the book. What it does do well in the first half is give a high-level overview of the Team, Program and Portfolio layers of the SAFe framework and how the PDCA (Plan Do Check Act) cycles in each layer refines the business objectives and they are prioritized and broken down into deliverable stories of value-added code in the least amount of time possible in large complex environments to drive business value. Once the author lays the groundwork in the first half of the book, in the second half the author goes into PI Planning and execution with good tips on how to succeed.

Excellent introductory overview for SAFe at Portfolio, Program and Team levels. The title is misleading, since only about a fifth of the book is actually devoted to PI Planning itself.
As a practitioning RTE, I found a couple of interesting ideas to try. Overall though, the book’s long-term value for me personally is low, hence my rating.
