Classic. I wish I’d listened to it sooner, highly recommended! If you’re on the fence and have any like for fantasy, science fiction, and mythology, this is a great blend of all three.

Distilled pragmatism from those you admire

This is a terrific book, and what I’ve been looking for for a long time. I’ve studied people that I admire from psychologists, two businessman, two inventors like Elon musk. This is the distill book of their wisdom and has some terrific metal models that go further into depth with the great things that they have to say!
