This book was an interesting read that I ended up devouring in one sitting. I enjoyed the different examples the author utilized as they weren’t the usual that I have come to see in many books on this topic. It’s unfortunate the timing comes when the NBA is experiencing a slump but it also highlights how fickle public opinion is and how it may change yet again. (Trying not to give spoilers) This book highlighted the importance of looking at things from a different perspective. This was such an inspiring and enlightening read. Definitely recommend others check it out.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc.

Loved this book! I enjoyed the discussion on how we think things should turn out based on expectations, data and guaranteed pathways . One of the examples is a list of CEOs and the academic location of the first degree. Surprisingly only one was an Ivy League school. The big message is that we can't put people in boxes. There is an unpredictability to life. Who makes it into the 1%? The discussion leaves open the possibility that anyone can, there is no formula.
