I had to read this book after reading Chasing Failure by Ryan Leak and finding it highly entertaining (and I would also recommend it). This being the second book of Ryan's, I'm happy to say it did not disappoint. What I enjoyed the most about this book is the chapter exercises to complete as you progress through the book. Ryan makes lessons fun, which is not always the norm in non-fiction books. I recommended to my peers at work to take the free leveling-up assessment along with this book!

Good book with some good leadership advice. Ryan Leak is an inspiring leader. I like the quiz and knowing where I stand on his scale.

I began reading Leveling Up just before walking away from my job in the worst circumstances. I came into this book looking for and expecting some inspiration and guidance in finding the next right job and excelling. What I found in these pages was instead a magical mirror.

Have you ever felt really good about how you look when leaving the house, only to pass by your reflection at some point during the day and be surprised by what you see there? I swear my reflection in the mirror at my house looks way better than my reflection in the glass door at the office. What I see in each reflection is affected by perspective. And to get an accurate picture, I need to see myself from different perspectives. The twelve questions in Leveling Up are like a mirror that allows you to see yourself from multiple viewpoints, some that you may have never even considered.
The Self-Awareness Question took me the longest to get through because I had to keep stopping to write down notes and think about how I saw myself and how others might see me.
The Assist Question had never entered my mind, yet I now realize that it is one of the essential parts of who I am and should factor into my personal decisions and all of my work-related ones.
As an avid and highly detailed planner, I didn't expect to get too much from The Schedule Question, and yet I found multiple ideas and techniques that I have already been able to put into practice.

Do I recommend this book? Wholeheartedly. This book has valuable wisdom and tools to help you crush your personal, work, or family goals no matter where you are in your career or personal life.

The questions in this book are unique and thought provoking. They were particularly timely in my life as I'm currently parenting a toddler while trying to climb the ladder at work. The content is very rich yet presented in a way that is easy to digest. My favorite chapter/question was the "Self-Awareness Question: What Is It Like to Be on the Other Side of Me?".This chapter brings a fresh perspective on self-awareness and challenges readers to think about their impact on others. My next favorite chapter/question was "The Vision Question: What Is My Definition of Success?". I think everyone needs to read this chapter given the culture and unprecedented times that we live in. The book not only walks the reader through life changing questions, it also includes practical exercises for application. Leveling Up is precisely what I needed as a young professional trying to win at home and at work! God bless!

The first chapter of the book is filled with so much insight already. The "definition of success" is speaking to where I'm at in my career and personal life right now. It's as if I'm at a crossroads and I'm hoping to gain insight into this journey leveraging the tools and resources Mr. Leak has written about in this book - looking forward to more and Leveling Up!!
