Exactly what engineers need today

I'm not aware of any other book that is so relevant for modern engineers and technology professionals. It's packed with relevant ideas and action items/activities that can help us make huge progress personally and professionally.

Listen to the book, then take the recommended actions. You'll be glad you did.

Excellent - All engineers should read this!

Love this book from Jeff Perry!

My favorite chapter was "Shift Your Mindset to Change Your Life". It opened my eyes to see that behavioral changes are great but if they are not accompanied by changes in the way I think (about work, myself, my future, etc.), I will not be able to make lasting progress

Also loved the real-life examples throughout the book! You can tell Jeff is someone who has put this into practice and gotten results for those who work with him

Would recommend this for any engineer who wants to improve their outlook or position in their career

P.S. Make sure to do the exercises in the book to get the most out of it!

Great Synthesis of a lot of information

I'm definitely more familiar with the material than the target audience. I've read most of the primary works that he references and have run through many of the exercises in the past. I still got a lot out this book with how Jeff builds the models together and weaves the information into actionable steps that build to an INTENTIONAL plan.
