These are my thoughts and notes while reading the book, so, please take them as that. Still, great book and for sure a story worth telling with tons of examples and lessons that could be applied to many scenarios.

The book starts with him narrowing about his childhood, his building thoughts, and how what he experienced shape his mindset through the years, starting with family junctures, places, where he lived or, visited, US…
