Summary: I don't like most business books. I don't like them because they usually take a very complex topic — building a successful business — and dumb it down to what is commonly called “The Hero's Journey.” In their journey, the authors start to climb the mountain, face some challenges, come up with some great ideas and keep climbing until they reach the summit; it's the best thing that they’ve ever done, and they’ve accomplished it.
