The 5 Patterns of Extraordinary Careers: The Guide for Achieving Success and Satisfaction by Richard A. Smith, James M. Citrin

rosepetals1984's review against another edition

3.0

Decent read, and overall most of what I have to say about this book revolves around how well it illustrates examples of its principles in the real-life spectrum. I appreciate hearing the references to figures like Lance Armstrong, Michael Jordan, Bill Gates, among other names of people who came to realize their professional stances and how they achieved success in the model built in this book. The only point of constructive criticism I'd have for it was that I would've liked to see more interaction with the reader on how best to apply these principles, to make it more intriguing. Still, it proved for me a great read on the expansion of success in the business spectrum.

Overall score: 3/5

I'm typically pretty bored by 'business' books but this one was very interesting. It included a lot of concrete examples of the material which I found very useful. I really enjoyed this book & would recommend it to others.
