I don't think that I've ever read a book that has that many times 'I' or 'me' mentioned in it. I decided to read this book, because I wanted to learn more about the sport. However, I feel like a huge part of the book was about DC himself. He places himself in such a positive light and he makes it seem like he won multiple championships. Furthermore, the book was repetitive and could've been half of its pages. He divides the book in multiple chapters such as 'marginal gains' and 'attention to detail'. However, 2 pages into the chapter you actually forget what he was talking about since he suddenly starts writing about something completely unrelated for another 5 pages.

Overall, I think that this is more an autobiography than a book that gives you insight into the sport and its history. There are way better books that actually teach you something other than some standard business clichés.
