Thanks Haw for the recommendation! Excellent book to help busy executive to achieve more inside and outside work place ... need to put it into practice though.

I read this book after hearing my mom talk about it. Sink, Float, Or swim has a concept but I felt the language was dense and reader un-friendly. I was kind of annoyed at the self-promotion but this book does ask important questions about being a leader. Being a leader is a skill just like any other and it can be a bit harder to teach through a book. I think the idea of approaching a situation with the mindset "How will I swim through this" is helpful for a lot of people! Naturally, I tend to just 'float' in problems to avoid getting stressed out but, after reading this book I was reminded that floating isn't the solution in many cases. I think Sink, Float, or Swim is a great book for some people and a terrible advice book for others.

The book takes a holistic approach in addressing how to make long-long term performance sustainable. Beyond the flagrant self-promotion, it makes good points around day to day work habits which now seem somewhat unreasonable- expecting excellent performance yet disregarding drinking, eating or preparing in between and for meetings.

Without having read any other reviews of this book, I’m going to assume that there are some good summaries out there that you can read instead of the book. I say this because I think awareness of the importance of self-care is far more advanced than when the book was written in 2009, and therefore the concepts presented are now, not novel.

ick! The director of our department bought this for the department. I have a rule: any book I start, I must finish - no matter how much I hate it.

This was hard.

I mean, who ends chapters with bullet lists - BUT DOESN'T USE BULLETS!!?

Just - no.

Great book, loved reading this and absorbing all the tips and ideas. Perfect for those who want to focus and make the most of their day.

Great concepts...just too dense and hard to digest.

Like the message. Could’ve been an email.

The ideas in the book are certainly great. It was fairly redundant, however, and didn't flow that well. Again, stellar ideas, I got a lot out of it, I just wish it were a bit better written.

Sound advice, but it was like a 300 pg ad for Tignum. Would have liked more concrete applications.

[Scott Ballard · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not really different than any other "how to be successful" book.

[Endre · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good idea, badly written and self-promoting book

[Haw Kuang Oh · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good reading at the beginning of the year about Mindset, Nutrition, Movement and Recovery...it's not only about High Performance, but more importantly about "sustainable" high performance.
