Meh. Should’ve known from the length that this can’t go into detail. Some interesting ideas but repetitive and shallow. I blame the bookshop for ranking it this week’s number one book.

Becoming too common of a hbr book - very generic and broad based thoughts and no depth. What you could have covered in a single paragraph blog, hbr has made it into a a commercial book

Some interesting essays in overthinking but book would have been a lot better if an editor had been involved in unifying them in some way
