- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Don't read it straight through. Read a chapter at a time -- maybe a chapter every week -- and really think about the implications of each "rule" to your business and your life. There are some great ideas here, but it's up to you to apply them. Make the effort. It's work it.
