Notes on Being a Man by Scott Galloway

My Thoughts

I’m a weekend listener of the Prof G Markets podcast and follow Scott Galloway, so I was excited to read this book. I agree with some of his opinions and don’t agree with others, but it’s usually insightful just listening to the way he thinks. It helps either contradict some of my thoughts or solidify them.

The book was a compilation of several stories that Scott had already shared across podcast episodes and interviews. I didn’t feel like there was much new, but the book does a good job compiling them and putting them in a sequence that makes sense. I think Scott has a particular way of thinking about life that not everyone would agree with, but there are useful insights that anyone could take away. If you already listen to the Prof G podcast and enjoy the personal stories, or follow Scott Galloway in general, I think you’ll enjoy this book.

It’s good for a specific audience, not the general public. For what it is, it’s a good book.
