It was written well for a how-to book, in my opinion. He provided a lot of stories and wrote at an appropriate level so anyone could pick up the book and understand his points versus using big or technical words. He gave some good techniques to self check yourself and ways to be accountable so you can actually make the changes you feel necessary. Good read for anyone, especially those in management (but can you be used in non work environments) that are looking to better themselves.

I enjoyed this book and think I will look for it in a hard copy.
Goldsmith talks not only about the things that you SHOULD do but also the things you should NOT do. He mentioned that too many of us fall into the trap of thinking that we can just do MORE of the thing that got us to a particular point to help us get to the next level. There is also a lot of food for thought about how we talk to the people around us, being realistic without too much positivity or negativity.

"There is an enormous disconnect between understanding and doing... Most of us understand, we just don't do"
This book is like a combination of How to Win Friends and Influence People and Atomic Habits.
Overall, it teaches us how to get along with people, change ourselves for the better, and to make it a habit in order to be consistent.

For emotionally unintelligent dudes who've competed their way to the top and now need to pretend to play nice with others

The main message was to elicit feedback, choose one thing to change, apologise for having been bad at that before, asking direct reports for 2 ideas of how to improve that one thing, and then following up regularly. Super useful.
