"I first want to say that I was incredibly moved by your book and found reading it deeply meaningful. I cried several times at points that would be expected and points where I wasn’t expecting to. I didn’t know almost everything that was written in this book, and I’m very happy you created this. If nothing else, I think that this was an incredibly important document to create. Mission success already.

 

However, I also found this an incredibly good story. Unexpectedly exciting, with interesting and truly unique nuggets. Many high-performance professionals would be interested in the rarely discussed $#^%show behind the scenes of an extremely high-performing individual. That was the core of Obama’s recent book – where he discussed his political views, but more importantly the ins and outs of his actual life. I see the parallels with your book here.

 

I think Patrik Rothfuss describes writing more like gardening – in that you sculpt and create and have some described writing as something that most people see as something like being an architect (creating a template, filling it in, knowing the ending before it’s started). However, Rothfuss ideas of where things are heading but ultimately much of the good stuff grows during the process."
