This book falls into the category of business book I think of as experience reports.
Basically stories (often people building their own personal mythos) that tell their experiences of a situation. As this is the case you need to take this book with a big pinch of salt, as these "rebels" are people who largely inherited positions of power, and people in that situation often justify it as skill over luck. The authors of the book are a couple of people who could afford to take 10 months off work to wander around the world ticking off items on their 'bucket list'. Cringe.
Having said all that, this book was fun, and while failed to provide any true depth to anything they talked about was well written, and I am going to use it as a jumping off point to read some more in this aread.
