### The Power of Full Engagement

I think I might drop *thinking like your editor* soon. It's really hard to annotate.

Also hoping to speed up my relationship with *The Great Bridge*. I've been putting off reading *Giants* not because it's not a fantastic book, but because I'm afraid it's the favorite of the batch and I want to save it as a reward.

*"The Power of Full Engagement"* is a prime example of one of those 90s books that got a sign-off because it was going to be bought by people who wear button-downs and think that those button-downs make them real people.

Well, I got news for you, buddy!

(NB: if reincarnation is real, I would love to be born as an elite athlete in my next life, please)
