review 1: I don't know if I've ever come up against this problem before, but I don't know how to rate this book. I'm giving it a four, which at first made me wonder 'why? There's nothing wrong with it. It gets quite exciting, it's not too preachy, the exercises are useful.' So I wondered why I didn't feel like giving it five stars. Because, in a way, I feel like giving it three stars. I can't really account for that, either. It's a mixture between my own lack of comprehension and guilt that's leading to four stars, because I wouldn't feel right giving this book just a three.I went through the book over the course of about two weeks, maybe that's the problem. Maybe if I'd done it all in about 3 days, it would have been a more clear-cut answer.Anyway, I do recommend this book to just ... moreabout anyone. If you really want, you can cut corners & skip certain things. I personally didn't do most of the maps the way they're set out, but took inspiration from those questions & directions to still dig deep. I found out some surprising things. & I'm not used to that. So check it out sometime.
review 2: To get the most out of this book, it is necessary to put extra work into the exercises. I have read many management books, and a lot of what is here is also in other books. However, I believe that the value of a specific book depends on how receptive the reader is at the time. At this point in my life, I am more receptive to this book and willing to put the extra work into the exercises than I was even a year ago. Therefore I found it very helpful and useful in getting out of the rut that I was in. less
