Would you say the book ventures more into the practical side of learning this stuff or is it closer to the tone of this article? I found this article hard to gain anything from. A lot of just motivational cliche statements and nothing really groundbreaking or mind altering. If the book is better at that, I'd love to read it. If it's stories and a lot of fluff, I'd rather skip. So I'm curious what you are getting from it and how practical and applicable it feels to you?

Agree. The article turned me off as well. No specific example, felt like an ad.
