Mark Shayler

This is not quite the book I was expecting, but a very, very necessary book anyway. I was ready for some quick, bulleted-list of "things you are doing wrong" and a follow-up, bulleted list of "things you need to be doing/doing better". I was disappointed in that respect. This is much more of a workbook, meant to guide you through the cubicle-every-day-is-killing-you boredom that happens to the best of us once we start to stagnate. There are lots of empty spaces to actually *do* the work show more being described/asked, and it leads you from idea to implementation pretty well.

It *is* a bit...pop. A little simplified. More like a self-help book than a how-to-do-it. But as a 'disruptor', as something acting as a springboard and brief guide, it isn't so bad. I would probably recommend it to a friend truly stuck in a rut as a 1st option, but am likely to also use these passages myself, eventually. It has some great advice buried in the larger print and quirky layouts. But I like it. show less

Not exactly what I had expected, but still an enjoyable read. I was expecting this book to help me disrupt thinking in general, but it was geared towards entrepreneurs. This book is meant to inspire the innovator in all of us, and it does with regard to business. (It did make me think of what I would do as an entreprenuer starting my own company in an already established field) Written in an unexpected and enticing format, I would recommend this read to anyone interested in starting their show more own business, or looking to change the way their business functions. show less

I am not a self-help book kind of person, but I must admit that this is a book that I think everyone should read at least once in their lives. It is an interactive book, which helps to keep your attention and allows for the reader to completely follow the points that Shayler makes. Overall, a wonderful read and I highly recommend!

"Do/Disrupt/Change the status quo or become it" is apparently the latest addition to a similar series of publications with titles such as "Do Grow/Start with 10 simple vegetables." It is expressively a workbook. The reader is invited to participate in activities such as listing activities the individual reader likes to do, care about and have relevant skills. If the seven chapters are followed through, the individual will arrive at a concrete plan for disruption or change of some sort. I show more could see this workbook used with those who find it difficult to make plans and have the confidence to act on those plans. I could see it's value and application in a group setting as well. show less
