The book provides career and communication advice for scientists using the language of marketing, with chapters on “business”, “how to sell something,” “branding” and so on. This approach struck some reviewers as cynical about human nature. But readers from a wide spectrum of scientific disciplines praised the book’s unique angle and breadth of research. Ecology described it as “a must-read for ecologists and, indeed, for all scientists, mathematicians, and engineers at all career stages.” Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson called it, “the first of its kind”.
