If everyone read or heard this book, the world would be a better place

This book is like having a personal psychologist and helps you understand how to get to your moon.

so many good things in a single book

some will read this book as a leadership book, some will read it as a thought provoking book, and some will reaf it as a tech-history book. All of them will love it. it's contains so many interesting, thought provoking things, and allows you to learn more about your own mindset and thought processes that you end up reading (listening..) with so many thought on what you want to start adding to your daily schedule you have a hard time picking which thing to do first!!
