Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Passion, Purpose, Profit
Donna Karaba · 2019
68/100
👎 Skip It
Donna Karaba brings genuine Fortune 500 experience and an actionable nine-key framework to a specific corner of the business world — executive coaching — and Morgan James is a real publisher with real standards. The inclusion in Soundview's summaries catalog is a modest but meaningful signal of quality. The problem is the audience is very small, the brand is proprietary, and nothing in the dossier suggests the book transcends its niche enough to earn a strong recommendation.
