Realistic and acknowledges how privilege is a major generator of success. I like that the mindset goal isn’t “anyone can do it you’re just not working hard enough yadayada”, it’s more about finding your unique strengths and using them in an attempt to balance out potential disadvantages. I think I’m too angry/scared facing the fact that life is fcking unfair to enjoy a book like this at the moment. Might reread in future tho

This book talks about:

The Success Equation
The MILES Framework
What's the value of understanding Unfair Advantages?
What if people don't think they have any Unfair Advantages?
The Importance of Mindset

Luck = when Opportunity meets Preparation.

It talks about the equation for success, the MILES framework for identifying our Unfair Advantages, the value of understanding our Unfair Advantages, how everyone has their own Unfair Advantages, and the importance of a reality-growth mindset running throughout it all.

This reminds me a lot of Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers. A lot of people talk about the 10,000-hour rule in that book, but the other big idea is the fact that some people have these kinds of unfair advantages.

This is actually a really eye-opening book.
I'm from a developing country and used to look at it from a negative stand, but this helped me a lot to change that view.
