Justin cleverly applies 18 table tennis principles to business, sports, and life, drawing from his playing experience and interviews with leaders like Iceland's PM Katrín Jakobsdóttir and Neil deGrasse Tyson. The book structured in three parts—awareness, obstacles, elevation—it explores metrics, deception, physics, and more through game analogies, real stories, and reflective prompts. Engaging and fun, it emphasizes process over results for lasting success. Strengths include diversity and relatability; minor flaws are occasional stretches. A fresh, actionable read for leaders seeking timeless wisdom beyond trends.

Interesting way of talking about leadership through the lens of a ping pong table game. I have enjoyed the stories that described the leadership concepts and reflection questions at the end of each chapter. The unique point of this book definitely lays in the concept of a ping pong game: you have equipment, table, skills, attitude and you play a game with different counter players. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose and learn. Enjoying the game and gaining new skills each time can lead to mastery.
