Once again a simple, yet good concept, stretched on way too many pages. The author filled pages with anecdotes about his foster parenting, this almost cult-like thing called "Genius Network", and religion. Anecdotes he had already used in the same or similar ways in his other book, "Willpower Doesn't Work". There are the usual shallow success stories that don't add much value aside from a little inspiration. The excessive repetition of the catch phrase "who not how" throughout the book made it almost unbearable to listen to.

This book shifted my perspective from how to who.

Another book better off as a TED talk.
Great premise though.
Now... who can help me implement this in my life?

The main issue: the examples reek of privilege. And it is uninterrogated.
Another: communal care, a term not found here, is the real back bone of this idea.
I'd engage this idea in conversation with other thinkers to round out the ethics of a beautiful application.

I enjoyed reading this book and I learned the value of not always having to figure out how to do things on one's own, but rather to spend more time looking for the Whos that can help one to do things.
Delegating has always been among the top ten things that CEOs to be and top leaders teach and practice. And while that is the emphasis of this book, I also learned the value of figuring out Who you are or Who you can be to other people.
