Critics Review
“Gripping adventure and actionable advice … Useem not only takes us into the experiences of others but also draws out striking lessons.”—Fast Company

“A really good story is a time-honored way to show how leaders respond to extreme challenges [and] that’s what Michael Useem delivers.”—USA Today
