Stuff They Don't Teach You in Design School, But Should

Ok, so the book started by saying we should pick the parts working for us and leave the rest behind, hopefully. While some advices are really good, I'm quite cautious about around 60% of the book which goes agaisnt almost every advice I've ever read. While it may be good to run a business based on cash flow, I must say that most of the advice while go against render quality work. Lots of them will make you a great “do as I say” worker but it won't really help into bringing your advice and expertise directly to the client, which I found quite deceiving.
It may be a nice book to read if you want to run a business, but not really if you want to go freelance. With only 40% of the book giving interesting advice imho, it's quite a waste of time compared to what you can get from the book.
