Well, this book starts by telling you that the MBA is worthless. Of course, the author uses himself as a case in point (he doesn't have an MBA)… This starts by pissing me off, as I am a self-made man, who later in life took the MBA, and I can assure you that the MBA degrees moistly gives good value (if you're smart enough to be perceptive, that is).

Well, after having read the book, he gives a very good run through of many business values/techniques, albeit sometimes very uneven, as he some sometimes are extremely shallow and sometimes are detailed and crisp. All in all, I believe this is a pretty decent book, as a primer for what business IS all about. It can't supplant an MBA, regardless on how much the author tries to self-promote the book.
