Afraid I couldn't say in particular, it was almost ten years ago.  I
seem to recall it as a collection of vapid self-help generalities.  What
was particularly ironic was that Intel was the least empowering, lowest
productivity environment that I've ever worked in.  (Which is more a
rant about Intel than the book - maybe it was better than I
disremember.)  Despite its 224 pages, I recall it was about an hour's
reading, with many pages of cartoons and very large print - low content
per page.
