The examples given in this book are based on author’s life and gives an indirect message to the readers to get inspires from. Somewhere the author has used quotes of other authors and this has resulted into distraction. A disconnect while reading leads to loss in number of readers.

The last chapter is very important to read as, the author has tried to explain the need and importance of having affection and interest towards workplace.
