Couldn't put it down. If you work for a large corporation, especially as a woman or minority, you will find this extraordinarily relatable.

Not Fully Developed

Revisado: 04-26-22

This felt disjointed at times. The "rare breed" they speak of is multiple personality characteristics that I think rarely occur in one person (or naturally). The message behind this being if you are that rare breed you will be successful because you are, it doesn't speak to the fact that a majority of those characteristics are developed through discipline, not an inherent quality someone is born into, and the book didn't talk at all about how to better develop those important characteristics. I also didn't like the air of arrogance. That ultimately the "rare breed" will know best because they think and act differently than the status quo. It is very easy to point out instances where you were correct when others said otherwise in retrospect without providing context of the times that you were wrong and others were right. Maybe it is just me, but the authors felt immature, and were only checking the box of "writing a business book" to feel even more successful. I personally wouldn't recommend this one.

Too Basic

Revisado: 03-05-22

Everything in this book is common sense. It feels like the author googled a Buzz Feed article and then fleshed it out to make his book. His style is also very shameful and doesn't address the core reasons people are procrastinating. I love reading motivational and self help books, and this is easily one of the worst out of the near hundred I have read. I wouldn't waste money on this.

Good information, TERRIBLE music overlays.

Revisado: 02-12-22

I loved the content for the most part, but seriously struggled to get through because for some reason they decided it was a good idea to overlay music at all the chapter beginnings. Super difficult to focus on the information and the music carried over far too long. (Shouldn't have been there in the first place, total distraction). A little biased, but very interesting read. would have been 100x better if they just kept it an audiobook vs trying to add in the additional sound elements.

Exploiting stories for juicy content

Revisado: 05-17-21

I wouldn't recommend this. It felt very problematic with how Mel dug into deep issues in a way that felt more like she was just trying to get thrilling content for her show, and not like she was actually trying to help the participants. There were a couple of gems you could glean, but I seriously hope all of these people went and got actual help after these sessions, and that the things Mel encouraged them to share in such a public format doesn't damage their relationships going forward. Maybe I am just learning Mel is not my favorite (I liked her book, hence purchasing this series), but I personally wouldn't spend money on her content in the future.
