Insufferably boring, and some scenes were very much 'man-writing-women'

The Millionaire Mind

For some reason I hoped this book wouldn't just deal with corporate America. How naive. The first guy who's career was described, started in medical sales (notoriously dodgy in America's privatised healthcare). Then the second story was about someone who'd been boss of Coca-Cola. Can't we get some examples of people who haven't screwed society or the planet for their career progression? 
I guess not since the average guy surveyed for this study was a 53 year old American man who plays golf and only leaves the country once every two years. Very boomer. 
It might have got better (I dnf'd it at 5%) but I wasn't willing to listen to a bunch of old guys who don't acknowledge their privilege or the negative affects of their careers
