Good so far.

I really liked these 150 pages because they felt less ruthless and more rational.

While reading this book, I realized that Machiavelli wasn't as ruthless as people often claimed. For instance, Pope Clement VII once remarked that although Machiavelli possessed remarkable writing and intellectual abilities, he was not suited for practical political work—he was cautious, to some extent, fearful.

It gives me a soft Machiavelli vibe.

It's better to be roughly right than precisely wrong - This book teaches.

Great book with greater insights.

It's good so far and 50 pages is all about what business is and how it's work it's like foundation.
