A friend recommended me this book. Is it any good /lit/?

Sounds like "think outside the box!"-style management buzzwords that will do absolutely nothing.
Anything, book or investment or infomercial fitness gadget, that claims it can turn you into a success with no effort is lying to you.

TED/Gladwell -esque bullshit, plus a few fun facts thrown in for good measure. 2/10

Just finished the first two chapter last night. The book said the three hardest words in the English language is ''I dont't know''. Do you agree?

Don't read self-help books or any author that claims to be the only one who REALLY knows what's going on (i.e. Gladwell). They're a waste of money at best, written only by people who are trying to take advantage of the desperate and the stupid.

Never read it but I can tell you that based on the title alone I would never consider reading it.

what a smart and successful anon

much better than the meme cover and pop-psych genre would suggest. freakonomics was a phenomenon for a reason.

podcast is dope as well.

I get yelled at for saying "I don't know." My family say I'm very annoying because of it.
