👎 Skip It
Tom Laurie's 12-step approach leans on small, concrete examples - a 2K run, a promotion, a new language - which makes it feel more grounded than most books in this genre. It's a fine, easy read or listen, just nothing independently verified sets it apart from the crowd of similar step-guides.
