Maybe it's because I've read so many extracts or reviews of this book over the years, or maybe it's because I was expecting something more than "work hard, and be in the right place at the right time" but I was a little underwhelmed by the overall message. That said, had the story of success boiled down to anything more than a combination of luck and work, I probably would have been even less impressed. Still some interesting stories and anecdotes!
