The Personal MBA: Master the Art of Business by Josh Kaufman
3.0
I had high expectations for this book. Sadly, it didn't meet them.
Personal MBA is a very high-level guide to your own MBA program, but it's no replacement for a B-school. It touches on all areas that you might need to know about when starting a business, but doesn't go in enough details to make the knowledge practical.
I like the fact that the chapters are short (1-3 pages) and very direct, but I think the content would be more valuable if it were explored at a deeper level with very solid examples. As it is, most of the advice just feels like "one man's opinion". I'd like to see case studies of people and businesses who applied the principles discussed in the book, and went on to succeed or fail.
If you were thinking of going to Business School, don't drop your plans.
