This is both a fantastic book, as well as a great listen. I bought both the hardcopy and audible version to take advantage of learning, regardless of what I am doing. The authors really really took their time, thought about what they’re doing, to explain these advanced topics in a very clear manner. I highly recommend this book to anyone in the business world.
