Few counterintuitive insights making it worthwhile to readTo the point Insights without the fluffy and the stretched out narrative. Highly recommend the individuals who are in their early career.Could have been better if there was a bit more of of those insights.Nevertheless, glad to have read it and thankful.
A whisper that force me awake.It is so short to have anything new in the book. Some simple mental models applied to career decision. I give it 5 stars not because of the content, it is because the emotion that force me to think a lot.To me it is a whisper, a wake up call that force me to rethink my whole career, to question alot about my past choices.
Dope readConcise, straight to the point. If you're reading this review, then you're interested and you have free time. Take 30min and just read it.
Eric so the perfect intersection of smart and succinct. Gives career advice applicable to any stage of your career.
A good perspective Very short. Like several good blog posts. Good contrarian perspective on finding a good fit over social acceptance. Worth brief time spent.
My take-away in a sentence: Find great managers/mentors to create value for, while creating fast feedback loops in a specialized industry.
Interesting perspective: most of our professional success is determined by our manager.
Most Value per page. Definitely recommend! The book with the most Value per page.Clear, to the point, you will be surprise how much of original view in the book
Short read, but full of no-BS advice. Few quotes:"If you want to learn fast and become smart, respected, and successful quickly you have to have something at stake.. You need to have a reward for victories and feel pain for failures.""That's how the Reciprocation Bias works. If you sacrifice some time and effort for them, they are more likely to do the same - as long as you're not demanding about it.""Humans always place too much importance on observable evidence - usually because it's all there...
Like the author says it is very short and no-bullshit. The points are well expressed. It is a 15-20 min read. The content is good and it would be an amazing read for someone starting out their career.However some examples could help. E.g. Naval also likes to keep it short but he backs them up with examples from his own life or outside. Examples can make the point clear. I found very less examples in this book.This could be a blog post than a book.
Interesting, not necessarily new adviceAdvice in this short read is not necessarily new, if you have a few years of experience or have some kind of mentoring relationship going on in your job with someone more experienced than you. The ordering of the pieces of advice Eric has might be interesting to some, but for that, just take a look at the book contents - no need to buy it
