Great ideas in a small package. I intend to review this periodically so I am reminded to be personally accountable.

This book should just be a booklet. The premise is simple: take responsibility by asking questions of yourself before asking questions of others. Glimmers of wisdom here and there. Largely trite, pragmatic, and individualistic, failing to ask the real question behind the question: why?

Important topic to think about but fairly simple and straight forward. The strength of this book is in the stories Miller shares. Very easy read...could have been brief lecture or pamphlet.
the format is weird,the font could be smaller,as well as less random half pages of text. Some of the content is useful but honestly could be written in a 700 word article.

Definitely a book you want to choose to read rather than being forced to read. The basic premise is rather than get frustrated, see stressful situations as an opportunity to advance, learn and grow. Ask how can I improve, what can I do better, how should I serve? and so on. I think it works better in a personal life context or if you're in a comfortable financial position. I think it's kind of awkward tossing this book at employees in perilous positions and being like 'work harder' but equally I'm not certain that's the purpose of the book so perhaps that criticism is unfair... really the book can be condensed into a couple of sentences, and a lot needs to be unpacked that wasn't... it's an interesting concept and probably helpful, but it also seems very shallow and papering over the cracks.
