Here are a few interesting points that are necessary for everyone to ponder and work on.
1. Craftsman mindset: To focus on work and keep getting better at it. In short, being so good, they others can’t ignore you. This is also reminds us about the famous quote from Bhagavad Githa, where we are urged to focus on work at hand and the not worry about the result.
2. Career capital that starts accumulating when the craftsman mindset is in action and it is of immense value. Two types exist–winner takes it all, auction. Once you understand and choose the type, the more the career capital, the merrier.
3. Experiencing a sense of control in one’s career and avoiding the career traps—one, that of getting into something way too early that doesn’t work out and two that of an employer attempting to obstruct the new path by giving a promotion or a raise or meting out more freedom.
4. Having a mission in one’s life and testing it in small bets.

Overall, the book a good read for anyone who is interested in perspectives to improve their work, career and life.
