The Diary of a CEO: The 33 Laws of Business and Life

The categorisation at the back of the book is business, and a lot of the advice is about how to be successful in the business sphere. I'm not in danger of becoming a businesswoman any time soon, since I still have years left on my degree, so I did skim those parts. The personal development chapters at the start of the book taught me a few new things about self-actualisation and productivity, so I did enjoy those parts. My sister said she wishes Steven Bartlett wasn't such an ass, and I think I echo this sentiment in general, but the ass-ness doesn't come across in this book :)

Nothing brings it down, really, I just didn't have an application for the advice in half the book. I think I'm the wrong audience.

PS I am aware I chose a business book and then found fault in it being a business book. Bite me.

(no more four star reviews because I realize I use them when I'm on the fence if I liked the book or not)
So this one is four but three stars .

It's a good list of “laws” and sometimes the length of the coverage of the topic matches the topic however sometimes not.
Sometimes the examples are great sometimes cringing to me (do not give relationship advice for example).

Also the name is not a good match with the content. I'm sure his team ran tens of A/B tests to see which title sells more and ended up choosing the best however maybe they didn't consider a principal that it should also match the content.
So yes, it's not a diary imo.

All that said, there are a lot I learned, remembered and took away to try and explore and even deep dive.
