Commentary/review
This book is probably inaccurate in places (a checked a couple of claims and they seemed wrong) but the general gist is thought-provoking and feels true. The Author is successful, unlike many writers claiming to know all of the answers. The book references other works worth a read and is probably good for building general knowledge. If you need a bunch of second hand anecdotes for your business lunches, you are set with your little yellow book. Most importantly, like a good mentor, Rory advises where to be more bold and where to cease being bold right now, wherever you are in your career. I think it is a good read for that reason.
However, the book is certainly too long. If you do not finish the last hour or so, you would not lose too much.
