Even the author mentioned that this is just one of the management-pattern, moreover his story is too idealized. Nonetheless, the idea is very interesting: who makes the decisions at a company?

One book is not enough to show Schwarzenegger’s whole life. There are long books about less interesting people’s life, compared to them, the life of the bodybuilder world champion, the world-famous movie artist and the governor of California is so unbelievable, that he can’t summarize it in one book himself.
Chris Anderson’s previous books (Free and The long tail) were brilliant, partly because he discussed two clear and unequivocal topics. Both of them could be reduced to an analysis of the math function: 1/x – Free said that the bottom part was so close to zero, if it was a service, then it would not worth to ask money for it, and Long tail explained: the bottom part is really equal to the higher part.

Steve Jobs’ biography was a great surprise: it is not prejudiced, there aren’t too many overstatements, but rather entertaining, and it revealed exactly, what a leader and what a man he was.

The book promises background stories about Obama’s White House by a confessedly narrowed author. The promise is fulfilled, there are many personal information about Obama, his family, his colleagues and their decisions.
