he only talks about his experience through his rehabilitation in the first chapter the rest of the book he draws from real world examples from other industries and history to illustrate the specific point. i think they are very practical as it is easier to remember stories than recalling step by step points



I couldn't take the book seriously after the "you just need to improve 1% every day" as if improving 1% constantly was somehow attainable by mere mortals. If I can bench press 20 lbs today and improve 1% every day, I'll be bench pressing more than 700 lbs a year from now. Yeah, it doesn't work that way.

If I read 10 pages a day, and improve 1% every day, by the end of the year I will be reading a 370+ page book every day!

This is perhaps one of the dumbest things I've read. And that was supposed to motivate me!?
