Probably not for everyone and a bit obvious in spots but an easy reflective read that intertwines so business ideas with how you should approach your life quite well.

The problem with bschool self help is that they think companies behave like people or that people behave like companies and both of those things are such bullshit

Reading the book, Clayton Christensen felt like a fatherly figure giving genuine life advice.
Usually, self-help books are action-based but this one will force you to ask the right questions.
Once you start asking the correct questions you will commence on the path of self-discovery.
Clayton Christensen passed away last year. May his soul rest in peace.

(Tried to read this in May 2024)
- Hey, guess what? I just found the 10th DNF of the year lol
- The way this books has so many little sections in each chapter only to end up talking a lot but ultimately saying nothing.
- It's been a bit more than 30% and I haven't learn anything. I think this book is full of just little obvious things you could've think by yourself.
- Anyways, Section 1 was more what I cared for because Section 2 is family and I don't have children, then I think it also involves religion? idk I’m fine without this
- I feel like I'll forget that I ever picked up this book lol

An amazing account of how to live a fulfilling life by a Harvard Business School Professor.

This was gifted to me and I will gift it to others. It would be an excellent book for newlyweds or new parents. Much of the information is similar to other books that I have read that were “business” related. This one differs in that it applies these same principles to family. Well done.

Fantastic
This book is a must read for everyone. While it may be categorized as a business book, it is, in reality, a life book. Understanding the governing principles taught will have a far-reaching impact on anyone who has a desire to be a little more, to manage life a little better, to make a difference.

Not the vibe I was hoping for. Could not get into it.

Not rating because I don’t think I’m the target audience. Most of the content seemed pretty common-sense to me, but then again I can see how it would be really valuable to people who are entrenched in grindset mentality. Some interesting anecdotes and connections though.
