Incredibly eclectic. In the guise of a business book, Ari expounds on politics, philosophy, religion, food and recipes, friendship and loss, and, yes, business.

His partner Paul once told Ari that his talent is drawing meaningful connections between any two topics, and that talent is on display here in full force.

This volume feels like a glimpse into Ari's personal notebooks, in which he journals religiously every day, and in which he must create and fine tune these cross references and connections.

Indeed, one of the chapters consisted of recalling and reapplying some of the "secrets" from a previous volume to the central theme of this volume, self-management.

The end result is an encyclopedic almanac. Very holistic, and almost self-help in nature given the core theme.
