I had a hard time reading this book. But listening to the audible really helped. When I was done, I flipped through the hard copy and made some photocopies of some charts and main points I wanted to remember. Overall the book was helpful.

Boring!

This was like listening to a textbook. I felt like I was back in school. Snooze.
