Principles: Life and Work

I've read only half of the book. It contains several useful ideas. But there is so much boring and common sense stuff, that it's hard to push through. The first part about author's life is meh. The second part about life principles is ok. I've decided to skip the last part about work principles, as it's mostly not applicable to my current life. Maybe I'm just not the target audience for the book, which is I guess higher management and owners of large companies.
