Tricky to rate this book without taking its cost into account.
While there is some solid advice in this very short piece (that can be read in less than half an hour), it also reads as a recommendation to other works by the authors of the five chapters.
Each chapter discusses one lesson or tip, using one concrete case example (so the whole book shares five cases only) and only very lightly touches upon the case to get the intended point across.
If it was meant as a summary work, that would be one thing. But the little material had a few "read my ___ for more" links sprinkled throughout (literal links to the author's books at the end of chapter 1 and 2).
So, again, there are some nice tips, but the book feels more like a pamphlet to get the reader to get other books - and for that it feels like it should not be what I paid for it...
