This book is definitely interesting and practical. I especially appreciated the use of historical figures to get his point across. My only hang up is that sometimes I wished he’d get to the point quicker; he often started a closing point by saying something close to “I saw this coming and no one heeded my warning.” That was annoying, but for the most part I enjoyed it.
