Ratings and reviews

Good for kids, junior managers and/or negative people. Some good pieces here and there, but a bit cringy to listen to. Both because of the childish approach and the oversimplification of concepts, sometimes pseudoscience as well unfortunately.

The reader can take away a good visual thought process from this book. I did think it was a little commonplace and not sure that it was able to make a lasting impression on my subconscious way of thinking, but it was a cute quick read.

Very simple quick read that puts stuff into perspective. Highly recommend to anyone that leads or works in large groups.
