Ruth Gotian: Success Factor (2022, Kogan Page, Limited) 2 stars

Review of 'Success Factor' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

There's plenty of good information here. No doubt the many bulleted lists contain solid advice, gained over many years through the author's highly relevant career. Personally though, too many key takeaways felt like platitudes, and there were some odd cases of repetitiveness. An anecdote about a student listening to a podcast was mentioned twice, statistics about mentors were brought up 3 or 4 different times, and Dr. Anthony Fauci was re-introduced more times than I can remember. Some of the topics are failure, adult learning, risk, persistence, mentorship, soft skills, and time management. Maybe I've been reading too many books in the genre for this to stand out.
