I had fairly realistic expectations going into this book, anticipating little more than a typical self-help, grindset, get-your-money-up-not-your-funny-up type of book, and I was pleasantly surprised. Clear is very practical and realistic, you can tell how knowledgeable he is every page of the book, but it's not obnoxious or filled with fluff. With a lot of non-fiction productivity type books, I've noticed a lot of repetition and rehashing of the same points, over, and over. This book hardly had any fluff or unnecessary repetition, greatly appreciated.
Clear also includes a bullet list after every chapter summarizing the material, and frankly I don't know why this practice is not more widespread. Additionally, there are many graphs and figures of his own creation, which surprised me in their effectiveness to represent his ideas.
Genuinely insightful and impressive, I would recommend this to anyone who cannot keep their shit together.
