Review -
I am a fan of this format for this genre of book. Having each chapter offer just one thought allows you to pick the book up, read about a single idea, and then put it down. You have all the time you need to think about what you've read as it's not packaged with a lot of other information. Does it apply to your life? How can you make this work for you? You can also pick the book up and put it down over a long period of time as each chapter stands on its own - great if you have limited free time.
What did surprise me was the complexity of the language at times. As Notes to My Son was inspired by the upcoming birth of his first child, I expected the book to be written in a simpler language - more like how a father would talk to a younger son. Instead, Wynn has chosen to write it in a very adult business language - "Metrics are objectives or goals," "accelerating your completion percentage," "conversion quantifiable," "connotation of belief."
As this book is meant to be a sharing of knowledge with both his son and a wider adult readership, I think it would have benefitted by simplifying some of the language. I found it distracting when I had to occasionally pause to consider what a phrase here and there meant.
A quick, enjoyable read with lots of life nuggets to inspire you, but you'll have to wrap your mind around some complicated business language here and there.

ReplyDeleteMy pleasure!
DeleteA very insightful book from a loving father. Since I'm of an older generation, it makes me think of some of the subjects that maybe I didn't talk enough about to my own children. Sweet and honest tribute to his son. I think anyone would love it.
