4.0

This book goes as deep or as surface level as you want it to go. Irony moved throughout this book. A seemingly unimportant detail will build to be a defining moment. Every time something begins to work out, it will fail in a way that was originally unforeseen. Is it a must read? Maybe not (IMO). But is it impactful, thoughtful, provoking? Absolutely.
