Some great episodes (1, 3 and 5), but some very weak ones in the series. Skip the Eton College episode unless you are a proper tory.

[Piotr Karaś · Rating 1 out of 5]

It's a description of Britain's most prestigious or outstanding institutions, like Eton College, the Christie Hospital or the Royal Geographical Society. There is some information about the values held by those institutions through the years, but I found it all quite boring and unengaging.

Pretentious title. Not offering keys to outperform really. It seems more a promotion of each of the mentioned institutions. Having said that, RADA was particularly interesting followed by Eton, as they offered an insight of how they both work, their purpose and outcome.

Interestingly enough - so far it seems to be stay in small groups, have mentors, and do not be afraid of change

Interesting listen, I got into it. The rada section and mentalities.

[Kylie Abecca · Rating 3 out of 5]

Lots of information, but nothing that directly related to methods or instructions on ways to outperform yourself.
