Finished the book in a day. A very easy read with lots of anecdotes about his life journey. It always interests me to learn about early life for these people, what his parents were like and how he took their message. Clearly he had a solid upbringing with many helping him from a directional POV. Liked the book, rate it a 7/10.

Just wanted to add that I my take on his book did not change my impression of Brian Burke as a good human being - smart, honest, hardworking and generous - which I believe he is all of those. And he does know a lot about NHL hockey, that's for sure.
