Loved this book. A lot of words but it has a lot of good examples of the principles it teaches. My main takeaway was that you should always be stretching yourself and always learning, and when things get easy you've got to make them harder.
Great read, it needs a bit more of an editors touch, ideas are covered several times in many different ways. In this way, Greene does cover the topic extensively and exhaustively, however, as a layman I found it tedious in the end.
The remainder of the book is fantastic, I would recommend it to everyone at all walks of life. Greene is easy to read and I can find no fault in his narrative ability.
