"So far, not yet having finished this book, it seems like he created it for those who are: 1. in the sales of PRODUCTS industry, and 2. of those people, for those who are in a management/ownership position. For those who are in a service-oriented industry, his tactics do not seem to apply. Some of his tips do have merit however, such as keeping distractions to a minimum by only checking email and phone messages sparingly and delegating smaller tasks not absolutely necessary to other people to better utilize ones time on priorities. We will see if there is more to his book after I'm finished though before I give my final rating. After reading it, I think that I'm still in the same mindset as before. It was written seemingly for those who do not like their job. For those of us who were lucky enough to choose a profession that we actually enjoy, this is probably not the quintessential book of choice. It is packed with situations that are 99% "not going to happen," such as the "ask your boss if you can just work from home" scenario. If I were to even try to ask my boss about that, he would just say "I don't think so" before 10 words were out of my mouth. The latter half of the book DID make me want to travel more, but the very end just seemed a bit preachy. All in all, I could see how this could possibly be inspiring to some, but not to most."
"I am always interested in life-hacks that can make work more productive and leave more time for leisure so this book grabbed my attention. Little did I know that reading it would feel like listening to a confessional from someone who will leave no corner uncut. If you have no qualms about out-sourcing work and under-paying people to do it, then this book may be for you. If not--and you have no anthropological interest in the delusional contours of petty bourgeois entrepreneurial capitalism at the dawn of the 21st century--then avoid at all costs."
"I thoroughly enjoyed this fresh look at work and life, and particularly the practical tips about contacts, resources, and how to track down what you want. My life goals are not in line with those of the author, and he seems to know little about the constraints of raising a family. However, this book was refreshing and got me "unstuck" from my uncertainty as I was leaving a life's work because of the political environment on the job. I highly recommend it to anyone doing any groping about as to what to do now."
