    Great read. Especially for the new grads or young professionals in their early 20s. The book is a very easy read and i found myself nodding along and agreeing with Luki in most places. The book is filled with tips and tricks and I am sure if you adopt even 10% of the tricks / techniques, you would double-up on your success probability.

    My favourite one being: BMC - Build Meaningful Connections - and how not to expect for results or successes through networking instantly.

    Overall, I'd highly recommend this book to the youth aged 16-25 perhaps. Great work on this, Luki!

    The book gives you a general picture of professional development. If you are asking where should I begin, this book is the answer. The importance of networking and how to excel at it are well explained. Other than that, there are chapters about personal development and well-being, which were very helpful for me to examine myself and my lifestyle. Lastly, book and podcast suggestions are great sources for further readings.

    Overall, it is a great book and worth your time to read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A book for all age-groups, students as well as professionals!
    Reviewed in Canada on April 2, 2018

    This review might be different from the rest because I believe that a book is only as good as the one who wrote it and I have had the privilege of meeting him in-person.

    1. Introduction:
    I came in contact with Luki through LinkedIn. I study at the University of Toronto and he's a mentor there. I came across his profile which has a very interesting background (considering his current path) and I sent a connection request to him at 10:35 PM in the night when everyone's either watching Netflix or spending time with the family or probably in bed if they've had a long day. This guy surprised me by responding to my connection request at 10:35 PM. Yes! You read it right! People say your 1st impression in your last impression and I'm sure he wasn't even making an effort to create an impression.

    2. Impact:
    We had a nice discussion that week, he shared some very useful links from his FocusInspired blog, that helped me get some clarity and prepare me better for possibly the biggest battles of my life till date: Job Hunting! That same month, he agreed to meet me for a conversation over a coffee where I went prepared with my questions printed on a piece of paper, and guess what? 30 minutes into the conversation with him, I had lost track of time and completely forgot about those questions. You start talking to him, you just get hit by the number of thoughts he'll present to you and the way he can make you look at things. It is so different from how you would be looking at them by yourself. This is what he's capable of and that was just 30 mins with him.

    3. Conclusion:
    The remaining 15 minutes I decided to steer the conversation to him and wanted to know the what, when, where and how of his major life events that unfolded this transformation about this book's existence. ( I also want to do this in the long run and who better than someone who has already done it?) He then shared with me his 2 dreams which he also mentions in the book:
    • Making Toronto the mentorship capital of the world.
    • Starting a school where education is more about learning the skills that actually matter in real life.
    Finally, I got my book signed by him and I left a happy person. He told me that he believes it's still a long way for him to be popular to be signing books for people, but the fact is- he already is. He just doesn't know about it yet. ;)

    I now leave it to your judgment on making this decision of actually make valuable changes in your life through his SIWIKE or continue with the trodden path. If I can write this up after a 45 minutes meeting and reading his book, imagine how much value you can actually gain from this book and his experience of more than a decade.

    I definitely recommend this book and just to be double sure that the people reading this review actually go ahead and buy it, I'll put down the parts that I really loved:
    • Chapter 2: Who you are and what do you want?
    • The list of books and podcasts he has referred in there. (You now have access to the source from where he derived inspiration on certain topics)
    • Chapter 5: You're more wealthy than you think!
