This book helps to give good context, but if you are a systems thinker already, then you won't take away too much. I wish it got more specific. For example:
*How much do you withdraw per month or how much do you make sure you have available for emergencies?
*Smart locks were mentioned many times over, but what type of smart locks do you use? What features should we look for?

There are many more examples like this.
