What can I say? The author self-promotes a lot, but the book (or rather a collection of sayings, without any substantiation) fails to live up to the title.

It is less than 100 pages, and every pages have only three paragraphes, and one of these are usually a link to some book on Amazon (most of which I have read already), and every paragraph is approx. three lines... This is a joke, as if the authors show a lack of understanding of business concepts as well as of the realities of being a CIO (he admits that he usually have been hired as a CTO but sometimes got the title CIO as well).

In short, don't buy, don't read, and forget that it exists.
