Hi there. Got a minute? I’d like you to meet a few people. Well, more than a few, but just a small selection from my “impact” file. I think about them pretty often, and I can draw direct lines from my habits, tendencies, reactions, traits, and accomplishments to theirs. These are the people who made … More They All Had the Same Book
