I picked up this book with great anticipation but in the end I was quite disappointed。 After reading the 5 chapters that I thought would be most relevant and interesting， I gave up on it。 It doesn’t offer anything useful or interesting。 Especially for people like me， who started working in this Millenium and have made very different career choice from the ones made by the generations which came before us。 The writer went to the best colleges of this country， had long stints in the best of tradit I picked up this book with great anticipation but in the end I was quite disappointed。 After reading the 5 chapters that I thought would be most relevant and interesting， I gave up on it。 It doesn’t offer anything useful or interesting。 Especially for people like me， who started working in this Millenium and have made very different career choice from the ones made by the generations which came before us。 The writer went to the best colleges of this country， had long stints in the best of traditional companies and is a highly successful CEO and business leader。 A lot of his advice is based on his own career and should be extremely relevant for people who want to follow that same academic and professional career path。 That’s a very small minority。 But for those who don’t or can’t， there isn’t much to take away。 I mean no disrespect for Mr Shivakumar。 I pre-ordered this book because of his legendary status and he is a person I respect and admire based on everything I have read and heard about him。 。。。more

Good book if you're facing a few dilemmas discussed in the book。 Otherwise， it is more like reading statistics around behaviours and changes in the recent past。 Nevertheless， anything that has come from Shiv has always been driven by data and this book is no different。 There are a few eye-openers and a few mundane， commonsensical things discussed at length。The author does present a framework for resolving the dilemmas and it might be helpful to resolve any of these dilemmas。 The great thing abou Good book if you're facing a few dilemmas discussed in the book。 Otherwise， it is more like reading statistics around behaviours and changes in the recent past。 Nevertheless， anything that has come from Shiv has always been driven by data and this book is no different。 There are a few eye-openers and a few mundane， commonsensical things discussed at length。The author does present a framework for resolving the dilemmas and it might be helpful to resolve any of these dilemmas。 The great thing about this book is the interviews of different people related to the dilemma and their experience-driven comments。 。。。more

The author attempts to resolve a series of dilemmas that management professionals face in their careers。 Each chapter has the authors take as well as opinions of a series of professionals。 The scope of the subject is narrow as it focuses only on people who have done their mba's and are in corporate companies。 The author himself having had a conservative career path doesn't help the cause。 In the present scenario， with careers being more adventurous， lateral and opportunities being far wider， the The author attempts to resolve a series of dilemmas that management professionals face in their careers。 Each chapter has the authors take as well as opinions of a series of professionals。 The scope of the subject is narrow as it focuses only on people who have done their mba's and are in corporate companies。 The author himself having had a conservative career path doesn't help the cause。 In the present scenario， with careers being more adventurous， lateral and opportunities being far wider， the 'takes' mentioned in this book are outdated。 It is also a monotonous read where the author tries too hard to back his findings with data。 After the first two chapters， I skimmed through the rest of the book。 。。。more

This book is definitely relatable to veteran professionals。 There are many instances which they would have gone thru in their careers and they can reminisce about them。 Other than that， the book doesn't break new ground nor offer any fresh perspective。 As a read， its average， reads more like a collection of PR interviews than a well knit book。 It's definitely not for the millennials or for those who have started working in the last decade。 There are many changes to how careers are viewed by both This book is definitely relatable to veteran professionals。 There are many instances which they would have gone thru in their careers and they can reminisce about them。 Other than that， the book doesn't break new ground nor offer any fresh perspective。 As a read， its average， reads more like a collection of PR interviews than a well knit book。 It's definitely not for the millennials or for those who have started working in the last decade。 There are many changes to how careers are viewed by both professionals and employers and this book is well rooted in the past。 If you're looking for something new in management or leadership， give this a miss。 。。。more

As many wud agree， wish such a book had come up earlier in the professional life 。。。 identifying the right 10 Dilemmas speaks volumes about the Author as a Thought Leader himself。 Thank you so much Shri。 Shiv Shivakumar for such a wonderful book。。

Shiva Shivkumar's book The Right Choice is a guidebook for all the people who need some help with career problems。 I read the book to find out if I can get some enlightenment with my offbeat career， and see here I am to share my words with you。 Experimental wisdom is what I name the book， all the points are verified with a lot of research， examples， and graphs。 I also got a chance to read the interviews of some successful people in the book at the end of each chapter。 Simple questions to complic Shiva Shivkumar's book The Right Choice is a guidebook for all the people who need some help with career problems。 I read the book to find out if I can get some enlightenment with my offbeat career， and see here I am to share my words with you。 Experimental wisdom is what I name the book， all the points are verified with a lot of research， examples， and graphs。 I also got a chance to read the interviews of some successful people in the book at the end of each chapter。 Simple questions to complicated ones are answered with generous solutions and words。 Timing， money， success， education， and everything else being talked about here in the book， I find it worth reading till the end。 We go through a lot of dilemmas when careers are at stake， and so it is important to read and research before making a choice for oneself。 And I am happy to say here， in this book we can find a lot of help。 I find it worth reading at least once especially for all the people who are working in private sectors or are looking for other career perspectives。 。。。more

Quite a quick read this one。 I'm not sure if it had any insight my overthinking mind didn't already know/hadn't already read somewhere， so I found the reasonings obvious and redundant。The style of writing quite dry/listless， and by the end I just ploughed through cause I was procrastinating on other tasks。Overall， wouldn't recommend。 Maybe useful for a college student？ But otherwise this book is an easy skip。 Quite a quick read this one。 I'm not sure if it had any insight my overthinking mind didn't already know/hadn't already read somewhere， so I found the reasonings obvious and redundant。The style of writing quite dry/listless， and by the end I just ploughed through cause I was procrastinating on other tasks。Overall， wouldn't recommend。 Maybe useful for a college student？ But otherwise this book is an easy skip。 。。。more
