Very enjoyable self-help book. I almost stopped at the beginning as it sounded like another version of Tim Ferriss’s irritating short-cuts-for-bros books. But this is not the non-stop barrage of self-congratulations and home-runs. Rather, it’s clear Alex is not good at what he tried to do, and he has a lot to learn (including that there is no substitute for hard work).

What is truly enjoyable about this book is how honest Alex is about how many mistakes he makes. Making mistakes and learning from them is the growth mindset, but sharing these embarrassment of these mistakes is Alex’s gift to the world. Good on him.

Finally, I heard the book read by him and I highly recommend that version. It’s funny and endearing when he does his impression of the speech of the celebrities he meets. And I never heard an acknowledgements section like this - the author choking on his words describing sad events.

Thank you for sharing Alex.… (plus d'informations)
