I read a few poor reviews of this book but decided to buy it anyway on Ryan Holiday’s recommendation. Unfortunately this were a few hours of my life I will never get back.
The book is full of insanely vague advice (think ‘promote your business on social media’) and it is a case study in an author blinded by survivorship bias; the author is pretty much recommending starting a dropshipping business and sell your product on a "giant online marketplace".
Oh, and a few if the businesses that she talks about in the book started as 'one man bands' but now employ people, and I fail to understand how they are still considered one-person businesses.

Thoroughly disappointing book

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Got me going again... Full of practical advice and loads of examples.
Would've benefited from more examples outside of America though.

Worthy of the Title

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
This book just repeats itself over and over. Aldo, it rambles and has no point to each storey. the first hour is just talking about other peoples success, but it doesnt tell you how or why.

Repetative and Pointless
