P>Review "Vaynerchuk draws on his experiences, successes, and mistakes to offer uplifting advice about leadership and happiness. . . . A genial business guru redefines success." -- Kirkus Reviews"A dishy memoir and a kind of best of Gary anecdotes and reflections." -- Forbes"A forward-thinking revelation and an enjoyable read. This is not your typical nuts-and-bolts guide to being a better businessperson, but it is instead a personal journey through Vaynerchuks psyche that shows that theres a lot more to being successful than KPIs, numbers, and drive.
