TLDR Version: Excellent, informative read, would suggest to anyone seeking self-improvement, regardless of the type of person they are.
Just finished reading this book, it exceeded my expectations, even though I already had high expectations from having read other books by this author. Unlike many self-improvement books, the author doesn't just tell you what you want to hear, he instead sincerely suggests you take a deep look at the problems you have in dealing with others and your life in general. Of course, he also goes a step further by suggesting several solutions to these problems, and how to apply these solutions. He explains all of this in simple and easy to follow along terms, so anyone can pick up this book and get value out of it. Will be suggesting this book to anyone looking for self-help/improvement!

To be exceptional you must learn from the exceptional; Joe is that person!
Years ago, when I joined the FBI’s elite Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, I discovered one of the greatest gifts in my professional life, a teacher, mentor, and guide by the name of Joe Navarro. Joe wasn’t just a mentor who provided his sage advice, but throughout our friendship he taught me the five domains of the exceptional that he has selflessly shared in his latest masterpiece:- Self-mastery- Seeing what matters- Communication- Action- Psychological comfortJoe highlights that to be exceptional you must do exceptional things every day. One of those daily habits of the exceptional is “Self-Apprenticeship.” To be worthy of leading, leaders invest in their own knowledge, growth, and potential. Leaders take responsibility for their own improvement, supplemented by mentors and guides. They carve out the time to work on themselves their entire lives. Give yourself and those in your life the great gift of being exceptional.

UPDATE: This was a GREAT book and it will surely be added as a reference book to always go back to as to master exceptional behavior. One note, as I love neuroscience, please correct the spelling of
Santiago Ramón y Cajal. (in the book his last name is missing the “L” on several locations. That stung a little given that he discovered the axonal growth cone, and demonstrated experimentally that the relationship between nerve cells was not continuous, or a single system as per then extant reticular theory, but rather contiguous; there were gaps between neurons.
This book is exceptional just as it’s title. I bought the audio book as well. I throughly enjoyed this book.
Old review (I honestly just started reading it and love the first chapter. I will update once I finish. So far it’s a win for me.)
