Review: Comfortable and Easy Read for Higher Level Concepts - Hello Chris, I just finished your book " 101 Crucial Lessons They Don't Teach You In Business School. " I thought it was an easy read that boiled down higher level concepts to understandable everyday situations frequently taken as commonplace. I finished this shortly after reading " 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen Covey. Your book reinforced core concepts from Stephen Covey. My feedback or observation can be directed to page 117 or lesson #83. In the first paragraph I believe there is a spelling error (Ask them were they are form...). I am looking forward to your course on Udemy and wish you the best of luck in your current and future endeavors. Thank you, Bobby

Chris' ability to breakdown real life principles and business in an "understanding" way is AMAZING! I learned more from this boo
An absolute must read! Chris' ability to breakdown real life principles and business in an "understanding" way is AMAZING! I learned more from this book then I did in the 4 years while getting my BA in Business! He breaks up the monotony with funny video clips, and is very relevant in today's society! I have already utilized his teaching in my current life and work place, and it has really elevated my ability to think at a higher level! Thank you Chris for sharing your wisdom!!

Good advice!
The book is written as a piece of advice at the top of the page and then one or two paragraphs on each page. It is a nice summary of advice most have heard before. No analysis or synthesis of ideas.

Highly recommend this book!
This is an amazing book, which I highly recommend. It is a quick read and well written so anyone can absorb the information. The tips are amazing and I found myself making countless highlights throughout the book. My only regret is that I did not have a chance to read this book earlier in my career.

Perfect guide for ambitious young people who wants to be successful in business and life.
Quick and easy read, great for the ambitious and eager young person who wants to get ahead in business & in life. I interviewed Chris on my podcast (Outside Of The Classroom) where we dive deep into his tactics of using LinkedIn to our advantage. Chris walks the talk and is a great teacher to learn from, thank you for writing this book.

Awful
A complete joke. How is this thing rated so highly? It's written in size 18 font an each "lesson" is just a few sentences, on such pearls of wisdom like "don't talk about politics or religion." "never complain" and "how to get a meeting with anyone" which, spoiler alert, is just look them up on linkedin and write "Hi I'm so and so. Have time for a coffee?" Probably the most obnoxious thing is ending chapters with smiley faces though. Who does that? (ex. bring it on haters :)) This book was written by a 13 year old girl.
