I stole this book from my brother... I saw it sitting on his desk and figured it would be a great quick read. I appreciate the artistic, yet simple cover design. Any book with the words "Harvard Business Review" across the top at least deserves some consideration, right? Since it only took an hour to get through, this is a book I'll probably read every few months for guided reflection.

Overall Rating: 10/10
Highlights:
- Encourages self-awareness. Specifically of one's strengths, performance, values, calling, contributions, and relationships.
- Talks in-depth about the importance of feedback, strengths theory, and understanding how you learn. All favorite subjects of mine.
Critique:
- Perhaps too short for some. However, I prefer the concise approach. I hate when business/leadership books are bogged down with tangential examples and far-too-detailed stories!
Favorite Quotes:
- "Like so many brilliant people, he believes that ideas move mountains. But bulldozers move mountains." - I like this quote because my mind is constantly racing with ideas. However, results boil down to execution.
