Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Powered by Purpose
Jon M. Singletary, Sr. · 2022
64/100
👎 Skip It
Singletary's military background gives the book real credibility and the reflection exercises are a genuine plus over generic motivation content. But thin independent critical coverage and a narrow audience fit leave this feeling like a strong niche title rather than a broad recommendation. Readers outside military or institutional leadership circles may find it doesn't fully land.
