Sometimes, I don’t mind the obvious being stated. But the way this author puts it makes me question my sanity. The ‘theories’ he claims to advance are nothing short of preposterous and self-evident in all conventional measures. The fact that every idea must have its echoing in business is mental straining for a guy like me. Not to mention the wannabe distillate that purpose is a process of “likeness, commitment, and metrics”. “Companies that aspire to positive impact must never leave their purpose to chance.” Hear that companies? Or was the distillate the last paragraph of the book underneath the not so humble title: “The Most Important Thing You’ll Ever Learn” in which the author blabbers about cancer and some students of his that discovered ‘life’s purpose’? Side note: I would not be shocked if these are the same people that find The Alchemist awe-inspiring.
In the end, not even the ischemic stroke salvaged this work from half a star except the whole-star system rating on here.
