The few pieces of (fairly obvious) good advice are so buried beneath the body-shaming, elitism, racism, and misogyny as to be rendered useless.

At least in my company, this book rings very true. From the makeup of who seems to get ahead to the differences between how the same characteristics are interpreted differently when shown by men and women.
It provides a good framework for areas to focus on to develop as a leader.

I found a ton of insight in this book. Typically, I feel that these books could be distilled down to an Atlantic article. I could not say the same for this. I do feel that a lot has changed with COVID-19 so I will be curious what the next edition of this book has to share.

This book is good at explaining what aspects can hold back without sugarcoating (the world is unfair), but applies very little in the HOW of fixing those issues. Instead the author provides mostly anecdotes about people who do things “well.”
While it was worth a read, the book is better seen as a tool to reflect on your own presence rather than a guide to improvements.
