Review: Simple and Actionable Advice
Rating: 5 out of 5

A lot of career advice books and self-help books are lined with wonderful advice that is almost impossible to implement in the world we live in. Only a select few people can use the advice contained in those other books. Yet, this book was personable. The tone of the book is that of a mentor, someone who is in your corner who gives you tough love, but wants you to succeed. Never does the author of this book preach to you. Never does he stand on the table flapping his arms and yelling look at me, look at me. Instead what you find in this book is simple, practicable and actionable advice. The L.I.P.S method is not a magic bullet, that if you wear this color or you do this one thing you will be made into the C.E.O in a week. Instead, this book gives you a method to follow so that you can transform and hone yourself into the best version of yourself possible for your professional career. The book is truly great for anyone, but the 22 year old version of myself would have loved to had a resource like this. I would give this to any college student or any person who is about to enter the job market. This is an well-written book that is void of fluff. Just a strongly worded and reasoned book on how to advance your career.
