ajbrockm 's review for:
DNFing at 50%. The author (a white dude) seems to suggest that people should embrace experiences of racism or sexism (see, for example, the Amelia Earhart story as described by the author) to be successful. Has the author ever had to experience racism and/or sexism?! His language is also sexist. Any time a hypothetical boss is described of course the author makes them a man. Any time a hypothetical scientist is described? Also a man. Any hypothetical wise older leader? Need I state the obvious? Gotta love the description of “nagging wives” on top of all that (see, for example, the Socrates story as described in the book). Perhaps one of my biggest problems with this book is the fact that the author doesn’t seem to realize that mental and/or physical disabilities make it impossible for some people to overcome obstacles in the ways that he suggests. Also, not at any point in the book (up to the point I read) does the author acknowledge the privilege imbued in the success of the white men he describes.
