Quite simply, the book’s 130+ insights help you do 3 things: (1) ENDURE the human-tendency-defying woes of the middle (your war with self-doubt, the roller coaster…(2) OPTIMIZE the hell out of everything that works (constantly improving product, team…, (3) NOT SCREW UP THE FINAL MILE of a successful project (game changes when finish line in sight…)

From @scottbelsky's blog post: "I’m excited and super-f’n-anxious to share a 5+ year obsession/project nearing the finish line" It's never been easier to start building a product and arguably harder to persevere and "finish" as everyone's thirsting for attention and distribution. I'm curious why you chose to publish this as a book vs. a series of blogs or another medium, @scottbelsky.

@rrhoover thanks Ryan. I went with the book route because it's a collection of insights that I think people will want handy - a valuable reference to flip through during various parts of the messy middle of projects. In addition, the publishing process is a forcing function for better content... ;-)

Absolutely love the Time vs Joy graph. It certainly resonates! I'll be checking it out. Thanks for taking the time to write this @scottbelsky

@scottbelsky @stuartlogan also plans for an audiobook version? I prefer to listen to books. 😊
