I still have to find myself in a group of people where nobody knows who Guy Kawasaki is. Like most people reading this review, I\u2019m a fan of the man for many years. I\u2019m also privileged to be a beta reader for the Wise Guy. And yes, it means exactly what you think: I read the book before you and I read a version that still had the editor comments on some pages.<\/p>\n
I bought and read all his books and gave quite\u00a0a few of them\u00a0as gifts because there are few presents more suited for the people you care about than Guy Kawasaki\u2019s books.<\/p>\n
Enough with the intro. About the book now. It felt personal like none of his other books so far. This book is a genuine face to face with Guy, sitting on the beach, listening to the waves and his voice telling his life story as is. No filter, no excuses, no holding back.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the story of a person that had been a witness or contributor to writing a part of the modern history of our culture. It\u2019s also the story of a father raising wonderful kids and a man following his passions from cars to surfing.<\/p>\n
Beyond the universal character of his advice, I think every reader resonates differently with the book because you can\u2019t help but identify or find relatable situations to your own life experiences.<\/p>\n
For me the most important piece of wisdom was in two words: \u201cSo what?\u201d [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\u00a0\u00bb1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb3.25″ background_size=\u00a0\u00bbinitial\u00a0\u00bb background_position=\u00a0\u00bbtop_left\u00a0\u00bb background_repeat=\u00a0\u00bbrepeat\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb1_3″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb3.25″ custom_padding=\u00a0\u00bb|||\u00a0\u00bb custom_padding__hover=\u00a0\u00bb|||\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_image src=\u00a0\u00bbhttps:\/\/asengana-17fd0.kxcdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Don\u2019t-flatter-yourself.-Insightful-Quote-Guy-Kawasaki-Wise-Guy.png\u00a0\u00bb show_bottom_space=\u00a0\u00bboff\u00a0\u00bb align=\u00a0\u00bbcenter\u00a0\u00bb align_tablet=\u00a0\u00bbcenter\u00a0\u00bb align_phone=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb align_last_edited=\u00a0\u00bbon|desktop\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb3.23″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb1_3″ _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb3.25″ custom_padding=\u00a0\u00bb|||\u00a0\u00bb custom_padding__hover=\u00a0\u00bb|||\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_code _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb3.19.17″ text_orientation=\u00a0\u00bbleft\u00a0\u00bb]
To put things in perspective and approaching any situation with the right mindset is probably one of the most important life skills you need. Reading Wise Guy<\/a> can help with this.<\/p>\n
