Scott has interviewed a lot of amazing people, the list is absolutely great. So why one star? I don’t see any added value with his writing, would have been better to just publish a list. Instead of summarizing the key ideas of each of the master mentors, Scott has tried to make it personal, in other words talking only about himself. Not only does he talk about himself and focus on self promoting, he’s even able to be condescending when writing about many of his interviewees.
So in short, find the list of mentors listed in the book, read their books, and skip this one.

Quite possibly one of the worst audiobooks I've ever tried to listen to. The author/narrator is obnoxious and can't help reminding the reader and himself how awesome he is every few minutes. He's outstanding at making the book and advice about himself. This guy is a National Treasure.

Transformational insights from some of the best minds in leadership… 30 of them! This is a goldmine of wisdom and insight that can be applied by anyone, whether you are leading yourself, a team, a company, it doesn’t matter. I love the almost playful tone Scott J. Miller uses throughout the book. It’s just enough to make the book enjoyable without taking away from the importance of each insight. I would highly recommend this book to just about anyone!

Lots of good advice here. If you like to read for short periods, like 10-15 minutes a day, but don't like to stop in the middle of a chapter, this book is perfect. There are 30 mentors, each with a lesson, and the chapters average about 6-7 pages. Make sure to take notes or have a highlighter ready because you'll want to capture some of the gems and apply them to your own life.

استفدت من الكتاب تجربة المؤلف مع القياديين وكل قيادة اضاف وصفة مختصرة من نجاحه، والكاتب ذكر مجموعة من الكتب الاكثر مبيعاً والمفيدة، اشتريت بعض منها اون لاين وقرأتها كانت جيدة 👍🏼🍃

Meh…? I’m not a fan of this book. Yes, it was a great source for scouting new reading material, but the style of the author wasn’t my favorite.
Although the structure (with the insight in the end of each chapter was a nice touch).

I made it through a third of this book. Not what I was expecting, too much banter and not enough substance.

WHO SHOULD READ THIS BOOK: if you don’t know what to read next, if you want to learn a wide selection of different people’s key strengths that help them succeed and excel, if you don’t have a ton of time to sit down to read very systematic, complex self-improvement theory (I picked up this book at the airport when I was waiting for my flight, finished it by reading it on my flights to my destination and back home).
WHAT THIS BOOK OFFERS: This is sort of like Scott Miller’s collection of 30 books and/or interviews reflections. That being said, I think it offers a lot of encouragements, motivation, self-reflection points. Plus, like others noted, your “to-read” book list will get much longer after you finish this book! For these reasons, I highly recommend this book.

This is a book written by Scott Miller, about Scott Miller, and the primary aim seems to be to steer people toward FranklinCovey's On Leadership podcast, hosted by Scott Miller.
Scott Miller is not as interesting as he thinks he is.
I was struck by the tendency to make the supposed "Master Mentors" side characters in their own chapters. On more than one occasion, I put the book down to figure out what the person whose face headlined the chapter had done in their professional life that led to their invitation to speak on the podcast.
A too-typical format for the chapters involve a brief description of the Mentor, a brief description of the lesson that we can learn from them, and then a lengthy* anecdote about how that lesson applies to Scott Miller's life, followed by a one-sentence summary of the takeaway from the chapter, and a question meant to reflect on how that takeaway can fit into your life.. The Mentor often does not get significant mention in the back half of the chapter.
The distillations and the reflection questions are good, but why am I reading about Scott Miller's stories, instead of hearing those of the 30 people the book is ostensibly about? Is the aim to whet my appetite, so I can go to the podcast to learn more? I can only speak for myself, but that doesn't appear to be an effective strategy.
This book is less "Master Mentors: 30 Transformative Insights from Our Greatest Minds," and more "30 Platitudes from Scott Miller, who I'm Sure I'd Like in Person, but Whose Writing Only Serves to Flatten the Ideas he Claims to Admire."
*(relatively lengthy. The chapters are only six to seven pages long, on average, and one of them is taken up entirely by a headshot and a listing of the podcast episode they appeared on)
Also, not that it matters, Filene's Basement pre-dated Nordstrom Rack by 65 years. The latter didn't disrupt shopping by adopting the business practices of the former.

WARNING - reading this book will exponentially grow your future reading list with incredible and inspiring thought leaders! You may refer to the author as your BFF when you are telling other people about the book, because that’s what it feels like reading it…. and your mindset will likely be challenged, validated, and restored - you’ve been warned!
Reading this book felt like I was having bite size conversations with a close friend sharing the details of a great book or a podcast that they had just listened to! You know how that goes:
“Oh my gosh have you read this book? It’s amazing! I learned so much…(insert honest, funny, conversational reflections)”
This book felt like it was a choose your own adventure, where you could pick it up anywhere, read for a few minutes, get some amazing insights and thought-provoking questions, and then flip to a chapter 20 pages later and do the same thing. As a busy professional, I absolutely loved it!
And extra bonus! You know when you finish a book and you feel that sense of dread because it’s done and you want more? Each of the chapters references an episode on his podcast where he interviewed the Master Mentor - so you can dig into the content even more!
I truly enjoyed this first book of the series, love tuning into the podcast, and can’t wait for the next one! Thank you Scott Miller!

Master Mentors: 30 Transformative Insights from Our Greatest Minds by Scott Jeffrey Miller
Publisher: HarperCollins Leadership
Publication Date: September 14, 2021
Genre: Business & Investing, Personal Development
Master Mentors: 30 Transformative Insights from Our Greatest Minds by Scott Jeffrey Miller is the book we all need in our lives.
This book is filled with so much goodness. To start with, it is written in such a personal way that it feels like Scott is sitting down to chat with a friend. It is light hearted but filled with so much wisdom.
Each chapter contains a pearl of wisdom from 30 influential guests from the Franklin Covey ON Leadership podcast. But more than that, Scott shares about how this person has influenced him in some way and impacted his life. Each chapter has value, even if it doesn't land for you today, it may in the future, or it causes you to pause and reflect on something that happened in the past.
I loved how each chapter ends with a quick summary with "The Transformational Insight" and more than that, Scott provides a profound question to consider or journal about to really bring the chapter how.
I truly enjoyed reading Master Mentors! I can't wait to see what comes next!
I am a proud member of the Master Mentors launch team and received an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

Are you a collector of books just waiting for a long beach vacation where you can dive in and try to cram in as many books as you can? (This is partly me as I am currently reading poolside!)
@Scott Jeffrey Miller has put together an in-depth collection of 30 transformational life lessons in Master Mentors, very similar to the Chicken Soup for the Soul series: easy reading with golden nuggets. I love the cadence of Scott’s writing from his choice of words to being so transparent, real, pointed, and captivating. I sometimes even have to look up a new word like “libelous”. Grab your daily inspiration in an amount that will make a positive impact and not make you late to start your day! (Assuming you read in the morning like I do).
Each chapter brings you to an insight and reflection question in the course of 30 lessons from OnLeadership podcast guests that would otherwise take hours upon hours to read. This book can be a stepping off point for you to further engage with the masters included in this volume. Highly recommend and look forward to volume 2!!

This book is a good idea but the author goes off tangent way too much! It's almost like something you'd get off blogger if that is still around. Take out all the superfluous ramblings and this could be distilled to a quarter the length, probably even less.
Maybe he is trying to flesh things out and build character for each person, but some seems to be the author trying to show something off. Btw he has a lesson in there where we should question our motives...

I’m passionate about podcasts and have my own shows. Before each episode and interview there is so much work than won’t get punished and I love the idea of a book that would summarize the interview while adding those details otherwise lost (for the public).
The book is fair and I found many ideas for my shoes and my career. He suggests many books. I already read some of them and some are now in my list thanks to him. But for some books I got the feeling I was reading an ad, and I won’t buy them, especially after reading the reviews)
Unfortunately in the book there is too much promoting of himself, his books and the company he works for. He must be proud but clearly shows a big bias. That’s not completely bad. He writes that it’s his book and he decides what to write (fair enough), but that’s not my style, it’s not a style I like. After all I already bought his book, I don’t need further pitches.
Generally I found useful “the transformational insight” e “the question” sections at the end of each chapter and will be really useful when picking up the back in the future.
The audible version? Huh, if you want to listen something, head to the podcast. I returned mine

Sono un appassionato di podcast e ho anche i miei show. Prima di ogni episodio e di ogni intervista c’è tanto lavoro che non sempre trova posto nella pubblicazione e mi ha attratto l’idea di un libro che in qualche modo riassuma l’intervista e aggiunga quei dettagli che altrimenti sarebbero persi.
Il libro non è male e ho trovato molti spunti per i miei prossimi episodi e la mia carriera. Consiglia molti libri. Alcuni li ho già letti, qualcuno l’ho aggiunto alla mia lista ma per alcuni mi è sembrato di leggere uno di quegli articoli pubblicitari (e non li comprerò, specialmente dopo aver letto le recensioni).
Purtroppo nel libro fa tanta (troppa) pubblicità a se stesso, i suoi libri e l’azienda per cui lavora. Un po’ sta, eh! Lui scrive il libro e decidere cosa metterci, ma non è il mio stile, non è lo stile che mi piace. Ma se sto già leggendo il libro in qualche modo ti sei già venduto bene, no?
Ho trovato, generalmente, molto utili
“the transformational insight” e “the question” alla fine di ogni capitolo. Sarebbero stati bene anche all’inizio e saranno comodi nel rileggere il libro.
La versione audio? Meh… io l’ho restituita

"Master Mentors" by Scott Jeffrey Miller offers a collection of insightful lessons from some of the most influential thought leaders of our time. Through FranklinCovey's podcast, "On Leadership," Miller distills 30 essential learnings from luminaries such as Seth Godin, Susan Cain, Trent Shelton, and General Stanley McChrystal.
The book promises practical strategies for personal and professional growth, presenting the single most transformative insight from each mentor. Whether you're seeking inspiration, affirmation, or practical advice, "Master Mentors" aims to provide a transformative shift in mindset, skillset, and toolset.
While the book delivers on its promise of offering valuable insights from renowned mentors, it falls short in providing depth and originality. The lessons, though impactful, often feel like condensed versions of the mentors' larger bodies of work, leaving readers craving more substance and nuance.
Additionally, the structure of the book, with each mentor receiving only one chapter, may leave readers wanting a more cohesive narrative or thematic thread to tie the insights together. As a result, the book feels somewhat disjointed and lacking in cohesion.
Overall, "Master Mentors" is a valuable resource for busy professionals and lifelong learners seeking nuggets of wisdom from respected thought leaders. While it may not offer groundbreaking revelations, it serves as a useful starting point for those looking to embark on a journey of personal and professional development.

As is often the case, I’d like to give a fraction and make this 3.5, but as it stands, I rounded down for lack of original insight.
Master Mentors by Scott Jeffrey Miller is a tough book to review because it offers great content but feels more like a summary than a fully original work. The premise is simple: Miller takes 30 of his favorite guests from his podcast, summarizes parts of their interviews, and provides some insight into their lives and lessons. While the lessons are strong, they’re rarely Miller’s original ideas—more often, they’re his spin on the insights of others. To his credit, Miller acknowledges this upfront, so it doesn’t come as a surprise.
The book is entertaining and provides valuable recommendations for leaders to learn from and books to explore. However, it often feels like an advertisement for his podcast rather than a standalone resource. If that’s the book’s goal, it succeeds—I’ll definitely be checking out the podcast.
While Master Mentors is a solid and enjoyable read, it falls short in offering unique insights or deeper personal reflections from Miller himself. It’s a great introduction to influential thinkers and leaders, but it doesn’t quite deliver the level of originality I was hoping for. Still, for readers looking for bite-sized inspiration and a gateway to more in-depth material, it’s worth exploring.

Author Miller makes his book from what he learned from the stories of 30 white-collar employees. The book is anchored in the theme of men and women said to him. We see a picture in the person in the first page of his or her story. Only one Black graduate is in the book.
A sample of the names of the chapters is useful to understand what the book is doing:
Emotional Agility. Peak, Trough Recovery
Keep a Compelling Scoreboard
What’s Your Motive?
Be on the Side of History
Twist if You Can’t Invent (And Even if You can)
The Servant Leader
Hype Your Failures
Choose Your Identify
Distrust Yourself
Pulling the Plug
It’s a good list.
We get a view of each person in the book. We also see all of the pictures of the person. There’s a good string of females. But there is only one Black person in the book. .
The book gives some useful information for the young person just getting out of college. But, a book with “...30 Transformative Insights from Our Greatest Minds” needs to go deeper into what the new and (usually) new employees.

يعتبر الكتاب تلخيص لمقابلة ٣٠شخصية قيادية في استضافة بودكاست leadership
تتنوع الرؤى والاستراتيجيات القيادية والادارية، بعضها كان ملهماً بشكل استثنائي وبعضها كان باهتاً
اورد الكاتب بعد كل شخصية ماسماه الرؤية المغيرة للحياة وهو خلاصة الخلاصة وسؤال عن مدى فهمك لهذه الرؤية
سيدفعك هذا الكتاب الى المضي قدماً للتعمق في موضوع القيادة ان كنت صاحب رؤية مستقبلية ،ولاسيما بذكره مجموعة كبيرة من الكتب المهمة في هذا المجال
على الرغم من ان الكتاب مختصر الا ان الكاتب كان له حصة الاسد مع كل شخصية في الحديث عن نفسه والشركة التي يعمل بها، فلو جمعت كلام المضيف فلن تتجاوز نصف صفحة ضمن مايقارب ٣او ٤صفحات لكل شخصية لتجد.نفسك في بعض الاحيان انك انهيت الشخصية دون معرفة ما المراد.
كتاب ملهم ومخفز ولكن اظن سماع البودكاست سيكون مفيد وواضح اكثر.

I have never listened to the podcast and probably won’t after reading this book. Among the multitude of book plugs (many for the authors own) and frequent mentions of Franklin Covey there were some nuggets of good advice but overall it was a struggle to get through what felt like a combination of fanboying and self aggrandizing. For example after interviewing a brain expert, the only sports his kids play is tennis because other sports are too risky in terms of head injuries. Are they also never going to ride a bike or drive a car ?
I really wanted to quit reading this book as I became irritated by the narrator but I had made it past halfway and I’m an optimist. It was the equivalent of a book long QVC infomercial about Scott and Franklin Covey where the mentors were background not center stage.

Master Mentors by Scott Jeffrey Miller
Be a light, not a judge. Be a model, not a critic. - Stephen R. Covey
Imagine having the opportunity to sit down with one great leader or thinker or entrepreneur...every week. In a private setting, you get to talk to them to learn what key insights they might offer in regards to their career success and/or the key lessons they have learned over the years. That is exactly what Scott Miller does each week in his Franklin Covey podcast, On Leadership.
Every day, I use audio books as a type of morning inspiration.I spend approximately 60 minutes with some of the great writers and thinkers of our day. I leave my house for my morning jog - I’m out before most are awake and my phone is on mute. For that time frame, I get to focus my mind on the thoughts of an author that I likely will never meet - but in those moments they become a type of mentor. Not in all areas and not for an extended time. More of a focused, topical mentoring.
Miller has written several books on leadership, management, and marketing. His books are engaging and practical reads for anyone seeking to advance their career or develop their leadership style. This book follows a similar pattern to his books, Management Mess to Leadership Success and Marketing Mess to Brand Success, both of which provided 30 lessons or challenges. In this case, he offers Master Mentors: 30 Transformative Insights from Our Greatest Minds.
In the Master Mentors, Miller introduces his audience and readers to the likes of Stephanie McMahon. If you’re a fan of professional wrestling, you know who Stephanie is and you know about her persona and her wealth. Miller could have focused on her marketing prowess and her company’s wealth. The WWE produces live shows throughout the year and twelve or more pay-per-views each year with hundreds of thousands participating live or online. They have more than one billion social followers. Instead, however, Miller emphasizes her sincere engagement. He recounts her focus on what his team needed and what they were looking for during this interaction. During her interview, she displays engaging empathy. More than an entertaining celebrity, she is a leader with skills worth emulation.
Another example from Miller’s book is his chapter with Eric Barker. Barker wrote the book, Barking Up the Wrong Tree: The Surprising Science Behind Why Everything You Know About Success Is (Mostly) Wrong. Barker identifies and dispels many of the myths around achieving success. While so many have accepted these tales and folklore as truth, he shares the results from studies and research in order to challenge these beliefs. Possibly most important, Barker challenges the reader to consider, “What have I come to believe about me, that someone well-intended, or perhaps less so, convinced me is true and doesn’t need to be any longer.” Just because some declare something to be true, doesn’t make it so. We all need to be able to evaluate statements and claims against an unbiased standard and apply the results accordingly.
There are so many great books out there that may well address any one of these issues in an in-depth manner. This book provides an introduction to many worthwhile topics and individuals that should garner further attention. In fact, the reader should come away with a list of many books to read in the months to come. Miller has offered many great tools and insights for those in leadership. Master Mentors is another example of inspiration and education.
Be a light, not a judge. Be a model, not a critic. - Stephen R. Covey
Imagine having the opportunity to sit down with one great leader or thinker or entrepreneur...every week. In a private setting, you get to talk to them to learn what key insights they might offer in regards to their career success and/or the key lessons they have learned over the years. That is exactly what Scott Miller does each week in his Franklin Covey podcast, On Leadership.
Every day, I use audio books as a type of morning inspiration.I spend approximately 60 minutes with some of the great writers and thinkers of our day. I leave my house for my morning jog - I’m out before most are awake and my phone is on mute. For that time frame, I get to focus my mind on the thoughts of an author that I likely will never meet - but in those moments they become a type of mentor. Not in all areas and not for an extended time. More of a focused, topical mentoring.

Great read, although not 100% what I was expecting.
The author presented a lot of nuggets of wisdom from various leaders and his own application and interpretation of the wisdom.
I was expecting more of learning on the various topics directly from the leaders themselves.
Nevertheless, it's still a good read.
Some of the key takeaways I've learnt from the book is on peak, trough and recovery periods, hyping your own failures and having self discipline not to do some stuff that might not be important.
The book isn't a means to an end itself. It's meant to help the reader to leap on to other resources to read more and find out further on the leaders and topics that interest them.
Overall, I've enjoyed the book and will do some further readings suggested by the author.

Miller highlights the work of 30 leaders he has interviewed on his podcast and the lessons he has learned from them. This one was hard to rate, some of the leaders have amazing stories and messages that stick with you, and others felt more like fluff for the book. This is a self-help book reader's dream, Miller recommends so many other books in his work to check out. I will probably continue reading other volumes of his books, but some of the stories talk about other's work more than the actual leader, it comes off as if he would have rather had a different leader on his podcast. I saw Miller in person and he was a great speaker, the book is worth a read, but will guide you to other words that may be better.

Well, this book ended up being a bit different than expected. Not necessarily in a good way either. Like the author does interviews/podcasts w/ all these people & yet each chapter is about him. No matter what, he brings it back to himself like an egomaniac. Not only that, but he goes off on various tangents in each chapter that should be specific to the person he's writing about. I don't it & I think it's poor writing on his part or his people not editing this book properly. If you want to write a book about yourself, then do it & I won't read it. I wanted to learn about these master minds & barely scratched the surface, what a shame. So move on to reading something better.

Overall interesting book with a good bunch of inspiration from a number of motivating people. It looks like initially those interviews were podcasts and then converted to book chapters. The charm of each chapter is the spice that the author gives with his dinner and ideas about each character, the emotions associated with each meeting and conversation. The information is all about how you use it for your own reflection: personal branding, leading by example, supporting others, driving motivation, etc.

It’s almost like a summary of top selling books! But the other way to see it is that awesome people have awesome stories and the author here has done a fabulous job in sharing those wonderful snippets of those books / stories.
As he himself says “copy with a twist” and this book itself is a great example. Loved every bit of it. One of the other charms of this is that it doesn’t advertise authors offline training or coaching which is typically a trend with most of the leadership books. Though subtly put, it does focus more on leadership than selling. Loved it.

DO NOT READ THIS BOOK! Title and description are soooo misleading. It is not about the mentors but it is a commercial for the author who is completely shameless and over the top obnoxious in his own self promotion, which runs rampant throughout. I was going to give it one star but opted for two cause I did get some good ideas for better reading material - none of which were written by this guy. As another reviewer said, your time would be better spent reading the books written by the mentors than to read this book. Shame on me for not taking their advice.

This is like the segment of an interview that asks the guest to summarize one thing they hope someone could learn from what they'd shared in the talk- and as it stands it's all about life lessons, insights on key moments of transformation and it is both inspiring as it is a challenge to change our perspective.
Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.
I believe most readers would love this because it is short, and there are various leaders to learn from.

Honest feedback for an ARC.
Great non-fiction read--less a business book and more of an essays-on-life-and-business-topics book. Easy to read because this is a collection of the author's learnings from his podcast guests. Great airplane read--read it clear through or choose a chapter here or there.
My two favorite chapters: Nick Vujicic on gratitude and Kim Scott on candor.
Scott MIller's style is fun and friendly and approachable.

This was a great book. I loved the set up and the short chapters. Perfect for adding reading into a morning routine. The mentors Mr. Miller chose where amazing. Some of them I have heard of and read some of their books, others I had not, but now want to read their work. I enjoyed the insights Mr. Miller added, and the practical applications. The questions at the end of each chapter are great to reflect and journal on. The only downside is now I have a huge list of other books I want to read.
