11/13/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: Dan's Biz BookshelfOne of the reasons I like Jim VandeHei’s Just the Good Stuff: No-BS Secrets to Success (No Matter What Life Throws at You) is that it’s written in short, to-the-point chapters with, as the title notes, “no BS,” which is how all business books should be written. There is no fluff or wasted words, just a hard-hitting, practical guide for those who want to do more than drift through their career. This book cuts through the noise to what works.
