This book was difficult at times, because many of the essays didn't interest me, but I persevered, thinking that I might learn something. I found it a little disconcerting that the subjects didn't always match the title description...at least, they weren't what I expected (Most Likely to Succeed - how do we hire when we can't tell who's right for the job, ended up being more about choosing the right football quarterback than about interviews or the hiring process). I did learn a few things, but generally I found the subjects fairly dry, which is why it took me almost six months to trudge through this in between other books.
