This was read for book club in July. Join to get all the discussion on the book.
While Johnson has some good ideas we can put into practice, he takes far too long telling us stories to get them across. This is a “glossy” book, much like Malcolm Gladwell writes, which gives us a high level overview without many tactics to take home. Most chapters repeated the same advice, have a diverse group and explore many ideas before you focus down on a single idea as the best one.
That’s the main point, and after that it’s a lot of filler to tell us the same thing in many ways.
If you’re looking for an easy to read primer on making good decisions, this is a decent book. If you’re looking for depth, go somewhere else.
