"i am quite obsessed with this book, and i have learned so much in such a short span of time. not done yet, but wow. i love media that is educational, digestible, straight-forward, honest, inspiring, and eye-opening. it's not just all doom and gloom, which i think a lot of educational books can struggle to get things right. honing in on the education of death and destruction, with minimal to no aftercare or solutions." — Feb 18, 2024 12:51AM
