Great review. I hope Doug is not the real name of his employee. I’m going to skip this as I have no interest on the subject.

Congrats on BOTD. I guess this book is more for those who want to improve their communication and empathy skills instead of tech people.

This type of book is definitely not my preferred read, although it’s good to know that most people can benefit from the interpersonal skills the author discusses.

Some nice insights into cybersecurity can be found in the book "The Smartest Person in the Room" by Christian Espinosa. This book highlights the importance of emotional intelligence and problems of the cybersecurity industry. This book is worth reading.

I really enjoyed your review, but having said that, I really do not think that this book would be for me. I'm not techy enough to understand most of it! Cybersecurity is something that I am concerned about, though.

I prefer a direct approach to explaining everything. However, I lose interest when topics get repetitive. This book is helpful for people who enjoy working with computers but have interpersonal issues. In this book, readers will learn that one should possess the necessary people skills to tackle problems with cyber thieves. Congratulations on the BOTD.

A motivational book called The Smartest Person in the Room exhorts everyone to be friendlier and more approachable, especially the tech-savvy individuals. Although this message is already public, it needs to be the focal point of everything. It ought to make for a fantastic read. Thanks for your review.

This book seems half of cyber security knowledge and half of people skills. Any regular employee will learn lots of things from this book.

Cyber security is very important so it scares me to hear that criminals are mostly winning. We need those in important positions to take this case to heart. Congratulations BOTD!

The part about enpathy and people skills is what draw me to this book. I don't understand tech very much, but I'm curious in how empathy and emotional intelligence play a part in cyber security. Thanks for the review.

I find the review fascinating. However, I'm not sure cyber security issues is something we can solve in an instant. I'd love to read the book and view the author's insights.
