What I Loved
It can be finished in one sitting or two, since it has only 117 pages.
Like a punch in the face, it is very straightforward, with the right amount of context.
What Could Be Better
I know Brian said that the tricks will help us balance our work and life, but I thought he would explain more about how balance. I really like the idea of eating the ugliest work, but he also said to go the extra mile whenever you can. It doesn't support the balance.
