Though some of the ideas in this book will feel dated now, I still found this an intriguing and uplifting read. I was almost putting myself in the mind of my 2010 self to see how I responded. My biggest take-away from this was around the notion of changing one's paradigms and hyper-shifting. Not fully convinced by the new lingo, but am sold into the points and the anecdotes, particularly Paul's story.
