What They Don’t Teach You At Harvard Business School: Notes From A Street-Smart Executive
This is a story book! I usually give books the benefit of the doubt but this book flat out sux. All this guy talks about is how he is some hot shot sports agent and the lessons he supposedly learned through the years. Let me tell you something, this book got old after the 2nd chapter. Every F’in paragraph has to do with one of his golf clients and bla bla bla. Its ridiculous. The title is true, they dont teach this at Harvard because they’re stories of an individuals life which completely put me to sleep. But im not going to leave without giving some positives, like saying you should check out Automatic millionaire and the 12 critical factors books. Those are worth reading. Peace in the middle east!

Antidotal stories, personal opinions, and somewhat painful to listen too. It was a great premise, but the delivery isn’t very good. I wish I had saved my money and not purchased this book

The book is full of nonsense that should be simple common sense to anyone that has worked in the business world. Mostly this book is a chance for the author to talk of his many “high level” meetings and for him to boast about all of the execs and sports figures that he knows. This book is rather entertaining, but you will not gain much from it in the way of business or management knowledge.
Rating: 2 / 5
…because it’s full of useful information in a format that can be summed up thusly: “Blah, blah, blah, listen to my fascinating anecdotes, blah, blah, blah.” Sounds like a lot of textbooks I can think of.

Mark seems to be consumed with himself. This book spends more time on personal examples of deals Mark made than any sort of technique that can help you. There are some good points, but I think you’d be better off with Steven Covey or Tony Robbins..
