This book was a very disappointing collection of weak common-sense philosophies for getting ahead in your career. Basic lip service that might be somewhat helpful to a twenty year old bagging groceries for a living, but certainly useless for any motivated person who has started their career. Mr. Tracy's "book" is more like a pamphlet, in content, and can't hold a candle to strong career enhancement books like The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People or Winning Through Intimidation. I only purchased this book because I read a favorable write up of it on CNN's web site-I guess I will have to take their recommendations with a grain of salt in the future.
