[Danielle · Rating 2 out of 5]

Honestly I only read half then skimmed the rest. It was about as cheesy/goofy as you would imagine looking at the author photo. There were some interesting vignettes of the genesis of game-changing ideas, and a bunch of fun quotes but other than that this book was only nominally interesting/helpful.
