Although there is some solid advice and insight in here, there's also a lot of really questionable stuff. Following a lot of this advice, particularly around self-promotion and navigating within a company, could be very limiting in terms of personal and professional growth.

The author's attitude really doesn't make it easy to get on board with him either.
