Not a bad read. Great to hear about the full history, and how much of it was things mostly-not-working or working-but-not-super-well. As I read more of these biographical books, this arc becomes less surprising as it shows up again and again. Perhaps some of it is that a story wouldn’t be all that interesting if everything went awesome throughout. But I think less cynically, I take away that the struggle for success is something that has many twists and turns before arriving at the destination.
