Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
The Real Truth About Success
Garrison Wynn · 2009
72/100
👍 Worth It
Garrison Wynn's research-backed case that the top performers leverage a personal unfair advantage is genuinely fresh, and his stand-up comic timing keeps the pages turning. It won't satisfy readers who want rigorous business theory, but as a practical, honest pep talk grounded in 5,000 interviews it earns its place. A solid pick for professionals who want straight talk with a smirk.
