Provides a great framework to think about your career. The premise is that blindly following your passion without acquiring “career capital” first is a bad idea.
The book is too long with too much detail. For example, when interviewing a musician, I don’t care what their house looks like, or how long it took to drive there. I just want the interview.
The “chapter summaries” were better than the chapters themselves, which adds to the frustration that all the details were, indeed, useless.
