How politice can influence everything in the society. For me, it is disheartening.

I found it accessible and easy to understand. Therefore, I didn't come across any parts of the book that I didn't enjoy or appreciate.

The magnitude of knowledge and the technical terms might be overwhelming for beginners. It’s quite sophisticated and might require more effort to completely grasp the concepts.

I think some complex jargon made the reading experience a bit tedious.

One thing I liked the least was when the book focused on specific businesses that might not seem relevant to everyone.

While I like this book for it's vivid description of Entrepreneurship and History, certain sections focused too much on historical details and didn't provide enough actionable insights for modern entrepreneurs.

I found myself reaching for a dictionary and scouring Wikipedia to grasp specific terminology, historical figures, and significant events - a testament to the book's dense and informative content.

I must say that sometimes I feel like authors overwhelm readers with details. I don't consider this a negative thing (I'm used to reading this type of book), but perhaps curious readers who don't usually read complex books might not appreciate it.

I had no trouble understanding the terminology used in this book, so I did not find any aspects of the book to dislike.

Latest Review: In It Together by Eckhart Aurelius Hughes

Post by alina constantin »

Although this book is dense and packed with insightful revelations, requiring additional research to fully grasp some concepts, I thoroughly enjoyed it. However, I recognize that its complexity may deter some readers, making it a challenging yet rewarding experience for those willing to invest the time and effort to unpack its rich ideas and nuanced perspectives.
