User reviews
This book starts with Patrick telling the story of how him and his team came up with the six types of working geniuses. It's not until the last couple of chapters
The only reason I enjoyed this book as much as I did was the narrator for the audiobook. He made the book so much fun storytelling wise. The book is good and has a lot of good insights, but I don't think I would have been interested in the story without the narrator. Otherwise, I would have wanted to skip to the end to just find out what the geniuses were and how to make them work for you.
If you get to the end of this book and want to know yours... Well, go to the website and pay $25 USD and then you can know! That's the most frustrating part, but hey... they gotta make money somehow! But yeah, there's no personality test in this book. It just explains the base definitions...
Three out of five stars. Why? The model is fantastic but the book doesn't have what it advertises. Its basically an add on for the personality test.
