- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A summary would do. Just read the last chapter of you are looking for a guide. Otherwise - consider it as a short stories book and not that exciting either.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to stand out and accomplish the most they can. While the writing was simple, and often repetitive, Eisner does a great job at delivering the key takeaways from each of the partnerships identified in this book. I already find myself reflecting on the principles in my day-to-day life.
