Selection: My husband liked the title.
About: Self Help, with a young adult target audience (primarily).
Liked: There’s some good advice here.
Disliked: Profanity.
Overall: My husband lost interest after around the first chapter, but I’m a little compulsive about finishing what I start-so continued on. Parts were good, but I didn’t feel I was part of the demographic it was aimed at.

The Four: The Hidden DNA of Amazon, Apple,… by Scott Galloway

Скатт Гэллоуэй знаком с «Четверкой» – Amazon, Apple, Facebook и Google – непонаслышке: он владел и был в совете директоров многих фирм, пострадавших от расширения этих гигантов – часть из них закрылась, а часть поглощена. Набив шишек и получив непосредственный опыт того, как они работают, Гэллоуэй открыл консалтинговую фирму, помогающую компаниям избежать его судьбы во взаимодействиях с ними. В книге он делится своими выводами и прогнозами уже с читателями. В первой части рассматриваются причины роста и невероятного успеха этих лидеров, а также те рынки и бизнесы, куда они будут неумолимо расширяться, сминая существующих игроков – привет DHL, UPS и Maersk от Amazon!

Станет ли «Четверка» «Пятеркой» или ее состав поменяется? Автор затем бросает пристальный взгляд на возможных конкурентов – от Alibaba и AirBnB до Tesla c Uber. А, может, вызов бросит несдающийся Microsoft, купивший LinkedIn? Есть у Гэллоуэя интересные соображения на этот счет. Напоследок автор дает готовящейся выйти на рынок труда молодежи советы, как выстроить успешную карьеру в грядущем дивном новом мире доминирования «Четверки» и ей подобных.… (more)

The four : the hidden DNA of Amazon, Apple,… by Scott Galloway

Reads like a one way conversation with the author in an off Main Street bar. He’s had a few, has some very strong opinions, and is a little riled up. The writing style was off putting and at times felt unprofessional. I found myself skimming paragraphs, and sometimes full sections. While there were some interesting insights, I just didn’t like it.

The Four: The Hidden DNA of Amazon, Apple,… by Scott Galloway

The use of untenable religious metaphors, casual language, and a sense of arrogance of personal opinion above evidence-based conclusions makes this read more like a conversation of the unmarried “cool“ uncle has in trying to relate to his millennial nephew, bragging about his accomplishments.
