Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Twelve and a Half
Gary Vaynerchuk · 2021
73/100
👍 Worth It
Gary Vee's list of twelve-and-a-half emotional ingredients is more memorable than most business-book frameworks, and the second section's real-world practice scenarios genuinely help readers move from nodding along to actually applying the ideas. If you're already deep in the GaryVee content universe you may feel like you've heard most of this before, but as a standalone book on emotional intelligence for business it's practical and readable. Worth picking up if you're new to this territory.
