When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

I admit, when I first picked up @gtavernetti.bsky.social's book I skimmed it & put it down. Then saw some comments on it's usefulness that sent me back -SO GLAD!
Why? It's the WHOLE lesson not one or a collection of techniques which moved my thinking forward - BRILLIANT.

Thank you!
A new summary! This time it's the incredibly useful The Goldilocks Map by @andrewwatsonttb.bsky.social .
A summary + one with a blank column for you to fill in!
Again - please buy + read the book - it is an excellent roadmap for how to read the research.
