Critics Review
-
“His thesis is that there aren’t that many different situations in life, and there aren’t that many different ways of dealing with them—have a few simple principles and, when in doubt, refer to them. He’s a stoic with a sense of humor, and I very much enjoyed his book.”
David Mamet
-
“A book about the complexities of combat that’s just as applicable for dealing with the complexities of business and our personal lives.”
Kevin Sharer, chairman and CEO, Amgen
