My good friend Nick Berger got this book for me a few years ago. He read it himself the end of 2017 and then shared it with me and said it was a must read. Well… it most certainly was. This book was great the first time, and just as great the second and now the third time that I’ve read it. I made a commitment to continue rereading this book each and every December.
