Interesting takes on creativity. A good read for creatives.

Disagreed with Adler's ideology on trauma to some degree and found the ideas mostly theoretical. I prefer most concrete examples and advice with this style of book. Though the principle idea of “don't live your life constantly trying to please others” interesting and fulfilling. So I took away at least one point from the book to carry with me.

Very good core message with a few valuable insights to take forward. Much like Essentialism, the book seemed to really stretch out the concepts with long winded explanations which is common with best sellers of the genre. Overall, a very positive experience and a book I'd happily recommend.

One of the most wisdom-filled books I've ever read. Probably in my top 10 books of all time. Really incredible content to digest and reflect upon. I will absolutely revisit this one down the road.

An excellent management book that would be useful to reference if in this in between area between leadership and a team member. This book also taught me that I actually don't enjoy management as much as I do top level leadership. Shocker.

Some strong points but common knowledge to anyone in the productivity and personal knowledge management space at this point.

Hoffman‘s podcast is very good and is pretty much in line with what this book contain. Do you have to keep in mind that Huffman is a big venture capitalist now. So the book does feel like it's from that perspective. There's also a strong bias towards tech companies in the book that I don't think totally apply to all business structures. However there are very good lessons to take away from the book on scaling your business.

Lots of practical advice in this book about scaling but nothing so new and innovative that I intend to look back on this one in the future.

One of the top 5 personal development books I've ever read. Absolutely going on my list of recommended for folks.
