I read this book directly after Volume One. It was a much quicker and smoother read, although technical at some point. What I loved about both volumes is the dissection of different forms of scope and categorization with vivid examples on how and where to use them. These books are a must read for people who are working in the consulting, coaching, or mental health fields, they will allow them to get more effective results, more awareness on their problems and broaden their skillset
