Summary: Random collection of good advice
Review: This book suffers a bit from trying to be many things to many people. I'm sure there must be some length requirements that cause authors to expand the boundaries of what the book covers in order to add volume. Unfortunately it causes this book to be all over the page (no pun intended). I have to admit that when I purchased this book in the store I was searching alphabetical by author on the shelf and thought I was purchasing Ken Blanchard (an author known for brevity and getting to the point), so I'm sure my expectations colored this review.However, my experiences have led me to believe that people learn and actually grow as individuals best when they have detailed advice in a specific area. The authors have generically covered a wide variety of concepts at a fairly high level. This approach makes it difficult for anyone to put into practice, especially long term, life changing practice. In my opinion they would have been much better off going deeper and giving specific examples of how to Leverage your Best and how to identify and Ditch the Rest than providing advice on how to get along with co-workers or set boundaries on your work. Not that these and other points they make aren't true. They are good advice and you would be hard pressed not to find some topic out of so many covered you could apply to your life. Still, if you are looking to make real, deep and lasting change or would like help identifying what specific changes you should consider making to improve your life, this book comes up short. I would suggest to the authors that they follow their guidelines and set clear boundaries about what should and what should not be in the book. It is far too easy to say a little about a lot of things, then to get down to the roots and solve some specific challenges for a smaller set of needs.
