Helpful Score: 1
This book really had potential. But it ended up being a summary of how much Bell thinks of himself and his accomplishments. I literally laughed out loud when Bell wrote about the importance of humility.

Bell is a prominent African-American law professor, the first to achieve tenure at Harvard Law School. He uses his life experiences as a springboard to discuss the differences between taking the path of least resistance and doing what is right and ethical. I assign this book to my business students for them to write reaction papers on the individual chapters, which range from passion and courage to faith and relationships.
