I liked the idea about how to improve trust, particularly in your own self-trust, however, it felt dated. Maybe it's because it's very much a "business" book written by a white man who is trusted by default and many of the examples were other white men high on the corporate ladder. In that way, I had a hard time relating to him and his experiences.

Like most business books, it is chock full of name-dropping anecdotes from a privileged white man.

BUT if you take all those away, it would be a really snappy read with digestible nuggets of advice. I've never tried blinkist , but this seems like the perfect candidate for it.

My biggest takeaways are that I should continue to strive for better, be transparent and candid, and follow through on my commitments. Areas I need to do the most work on are "Listen first" and "show respect."

I'm not sorry I read it. I think it could have been about 1/3 shorter. Just say what you have to say. I bought the book. (Just kidding, I got it from the library.) you don't have to keep selling it. After 2/3 I started skimming because the book was basically over, but there were more pages.

Repetitive but provided an interesting perspective to what makes up trust. I feel like a lot of the buss words/topics were brainstormed to hit "13 behaviors", "10 reasons why trust is important", etc. and watered down the content, but there were some solid nuggets of knowledge/ideas in there.
