Just like with oh so many self-development books, the temptation to turn common sense ideas into an overreaching "innovative" framework did not escape this one as well. While the core of the book could probably fit in 20 or 30 pages, it is instead stretched significantly with meaningless filler and those wonderful examples supporting the premise oh-so-conveniently and ranging from life changing experiences to big companies suddenly seeing the light and reinventing themselves (out of perverted curiosity, I did a very cursory research on Alcoa, prominently featured in the book, only to find it perennially marred in scandals and lawsuits - go figure).

All in all it is not a bad book. However, I strongly feel that my original disdain for "book summarizing" services is slowly evolving - it seems like those services are a perfect fit for books like this, where a 10-page summary would save me a lot of time wading through the padding and author's garrulity.
