Title: Do right and wrong matter?
Product review: I found the anecdotes and analyses of the habits that hold people back to be very helpful, and it was fun to read. What troubled me was the low priority given to right and wrong. This came out especially in the description of the meritocrat (but in some others as well). In essence, their suggestion seemed to be that focusing on what's good, right or true can be detrimental in situations, and that this 'bad' habit should be overcome. It seemed a small step from something like: 'Your unwillingness to cheat will hold you back, so whatever it is that hinders your ability to cheat is something you need to get over'.I imagine the authors would say 'We're trying to give you objective advice on advancing your career, not to be your conscience.' But that doesn't sit well with me.The Jungian analysis at the end was not helpful.Again, I found the book entertaining and enlightening in many ways, but that conscience thing bothered me.
