This book consists of one part cutesy stories, one part anecdotes and very few actual advice.
And even those are common sense and platitude level affirmations that anyone with two brain cells and a few years experience in the corporate world and a little openness to ideas and curiosity would be able to tell you at any time.
If you are an absolute beginner and never even thought about these things this may help you, but otherwise it's an utter waste of time because it's so generic and shallow.
