I picked this up because the CISSP material felt overwhelming alongside a full work schedule, and this guide helped simplify things. I liked how the content was broken into short, focused sections that made daily study feel realistic. The Think Like a Manager approach stood out and pushed me to rethink how I approached questions instead of memorizing facts. The visual summaries were helpful for quick refreshers, especially before practice tests. Some areas may still require deeper study depending on your background, but overall it felt structured and intentional. This book seems best for busy IT professionals who want steady progress without burnout.
If you want a career in information security systems it may be necessary to take the CISSP exam. This book will get you prepared to do just that. The author starts in the beginning explaining what the exam entails. This includes what the different sections are and the kinds of questions that will be asked. I liked that the author took the time to lay out a very detailed study plan to help you prepare. Sample questions are provided as well.
If you can spar 30 minutes a day to study and stick to a schedule, you can prepare for the CISSP exam. Smart planning of study materials plus practice questions will prepare the exam taker for success.
Feels friendly and not overwhelming. Helps you get into the right CISSP mindset without drowning in details. Great if you’re busy and want steady progress. Probably best paired with another resource, but still a comforting, useful study companion
