Insightful

This book not only brings the truth of retail to life, but it also provides insightful information on how to grow with the future rather than being left behind


I own a small business that is growing 50% month over month and I’m still worried about losing what I have built. It’s tough to listen to books like this because the facts it presents are true.

Reality sucks, but it helps one grow. I highly recommend.

Amazing

Doug's narrative is amazingly relevant to anyone currently in retail, tech start ups or people looking to disrupt the retail industry. VR, IOT and technology in general is changing everything. Doug explains it's relevance and importance with a CTA to keep you on your toes.

Phenomenal

Author has painted the future of retail, a must read for every CxO in retail industry today.

A visionary perspective of retail

The author gives a visionary outlook of the retail industry, and tells a story that gives context to many of the decisions being made by Retail CEOs today.

In-depth analysis, but some overestimation of tech

Very interesting retrospective analysis of retail industry envisioning of its future, however there is some overestimation of high-tech.

Best book I've read in a LONG time!

What a great experience this book was!
Very to the point, no fluff! If You want to succeed in retail in the future you must read this book!

It’s all about the experience

This book covers many aspects of the current retail landscape. I found it to be thought-provoking and it will certainly make me better in providing a remarkable experience at our retail locations.

Full of selection bias

There is a good message in this book, I am sure of it. But after 8 chapters of listening to misleading statistics, poor references, and a matter class of selection bias, I had to give up.

The author switches back and forth between gross margin and net income to represent profit; He used examples like Ubers Rush (defunct, poorly executed experiment) as an example of changes.

Really disappointed in this one. I would not recommend unless you have not been paying attention to changes in modern retail.
