About the author
R. Michael Anderson
6 books10 followersR. Michael Anderson, MBA, MA may know a lot about leadership…but that’s only because he learned the hard way.
After climbing the corporate ladder and becoming an International Director by 35 years old, he moved back to California to start up his first software company.
It didn’t take long for him to realize that he was sorely lacking in leadership skills. A dramatic story that includes divorce, assault by a business partner, and almost losing everything propelled him to change.
He earned a Masters Degree in Psychology along with a Neuroscience certificate so he could figure out this whole “leadership” thing.
It must have worked because his one company (he’s founded three in total) Radiant Technologies, Inc. reached the Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing companies,
won the #1 Best Place to Work, and Michael won Social Entrepreneur of the Year. Now he teaches other leaders how to have the same success.

A good book with good advice . I listened to the author at men prove ment.com back in 2015. It took my 5 years to complete the reading of this book. I will use it to improve my work/ life balance.

Great self-help book

This book is such an easy read. I read it one day, despite many distractions. I learn best through story telling and concrete examples and this book provides both. The principles were taught through a fictional character with struggles and having a peek into his coaching sessions. Throughout the book, the characters homework was presented so that the reader could get an idea of how to apply it themselves. The struggles of the character are common so it is easy to apply what is being taught. There wasn't an earth shattering revelation, but the explanations really helped to understand the why I should approach things a certain way. This book as shifted my perspective and how I will approach situations at work and home. I will begin going through many of the recommended exercises this week.

I love how this book read as if you were the one being coached. The homework and the situations were relate-able and easy to follow. I feel like I need to read this book at least every 3 months.
