2.0

I’m sure this book will be an absolute hit for some, but it wasn’t for me. It was too wordy, and I often found myself saying, “just get to the point!” Given that it’s a short book to begin with, that’s not something you expect to think. It felt like a nod to an imbalance in power dynamics until the last 5% of the book when it finally hit head-on. Didn’t care for the pace of this one at all.
