WOW, this book was a great little read. It is only 127 pages, so you can read it in a day, it's a parable, but I thought it was a really awesome little story with the things it points out. I would love to point out some of the things it says, but then that would give away the whole book, and that wouldn't be fair to the authors. However, one thing it did say, which I didn't quite agree with, was that, "It's not what you do, or what you accomplish, but who you are." Weelllll, yes, to an extent, but IMO it's more like they say in "Batman Begins," "It's not who you are underneath, but what you do, that defines you." IMO, you can be a saint, but if you don't do much, it matters little. If you are a jerk, but help many thousands (or even millions) of people, that is more important, IMO.

However, aside from that little part, I think the book points out some very good things necessary for an entrepreneur to know. It is recommended by Michael Gerber and Seth Godin, which is what encouraged me to read it and I definitely learned a few new things.
