As an HP employee for 25 years, I found the book extremely engaging, yet couldn't read it all in one sitting. It rubbed me raw at times, because I lived much of it, made me feel like I was on the Psychiatrist's couch sharing about my family. In fact I did get teary-eyed several times, then started sobbing after I finished reading some of the speeches Dave Packard gave.
I recommend the book to all HP old-timers; some of the younger HPites might find it interesting as well.
I also recommend the book to those students of business to understand how to do it right.
