Richard Reed (3) (1973–)

unsentimental, just thought provoking, honest, and down-to-earth 'advise' from people who've been there. narrated with charm and, for lack of a better word, british-ness that i so love. definitely earmarked for a re-read.

This was an interesting read that gave me some insights into the minds of some people I admire and introduced me to people I should be aware of but wasn’t. It was interesting that some of the advice given by some of the interviewees conflicts with advice given by others. Given the fact their life experiences, careers and passions varied so wide this is not a surprise. All in all an interesting read but not life changing.

Catchy title that helps the book become a best seller.

Brilliant at times but due to lack of compelling examples or stories, it may be hard to internalize some of the advices.

This book came highly recommended by someone I won't take advice from again. There are a lot of people in this book so you can probably find something that will resonate with you, but you have to sort through the rest and it isn't worth it. The best parts are some of the stories about when the author meet with the people.
