🧠 My thoughts
This book was a straightforward and easy-to-understand read, with clear writing and a logical flow. I appreciated that it didn’t just highlight the usual big names like Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg but also included female CEOs, which brought some refreshing diversity. The positive tone was encouraging, especially for those considering entrepreneurship, and it genuinely tried to offer a different take on business self-help.
However, the concept felt too much like common sense, and the depth just wasn’t there for me. I didn’t get much from the book. The repetitive focus on big tech companies and their CEOs became tiresome, and the analogies often missed the mark. The book failed to address the struggles of those who couldn’t find their “Unfair Advantage,” leaving me questioning whether this mindset truly applies universally. Statements like “You can change your mindset in an instant” felt overly simplistic, and while I see how it might work for some, it didn’t resonate with me personally.
