I received this book through NetGalley.
This is a great book about ways to work. It's split up in two overlapping categories, yourself and others. Each of the themes within these categories is backed up with research data, relating to percentages of people that scored high (or low) in each of the themes main topic. This sounds boring but it's brought in a juicy way, ,o long charts with loads of data here. There is an intro and a summary containing the entire book in short, super for a quick review. I found the beginning themes to be very captivating. "Do less, then Obsess" and "Don't just learn, loop" are my favorites. The other themes were a bit tedious and took me longer to get through but still interesting. The writing style is akin to Steven Pressfield's books, I would compare the book against Mastery though this book is a lot shorter. Some of the themes were recurring (read: not unique in the 'idea' world) but the data supporting it, is what makes it different. Grammar was very fluent, you will not be flung down with big words. All in all a very satisfying read, I will definitely check out other books from the writer! Thanks for the early copy!
