This is the third book by Christensen that I've read. While reading, I felt the book repeats the other two books that I've read, and I'm not getting much new. And there is overlap; however, I also think I'm starting to better understand the author's personality and life perspective, so it feels more predictable.

First of all, it's a bad book title; the book is not what you think it is about. After reviewing the book, I'm starting to appreciate it. It's a collection of life advice, how to make decisions, and how to avoid common mistakes.

Every single point felt too close to home. I have my personal experience to support it. The advice is equally applicable to personal life, parenting, startups, and companies. It seems the approach and principles are the same. It was a bit hectic to follow.

I definitely took a lot out of it and can recommend it to everyone.
