Good primer for understanding self and others
In many ways, I was disappointed by this book. I think it's great for a specific audience. I wish it did better in clarifying who that audience was. If you rate yourself fairly well in understanding modern concepts of self-worth, modern notion of influence, and the place of values and principles in today's business landscape, you might not find anything new in this book.
For that audience who is unclear on the above, this is a good primer to start speaking the language of a modern workplace. For most people in my circles, I wouldn't recommend this book.
