Ady asks the MoTaverse #4 Mindset chapter draft image
I think its great. I think sometimes the the sweet spot with learning books is balancing sharing your expertise on a subject with targeting the learning of the reader. So if there are key principles that you need to get across, repetition is good and different perspectives of the same principles is good. I've read some learning books that communicate expertise and the understanding of the author, but they're written in a way of expecting the reader to understand. So I would say you need to apply the same Inclusive Mindset assessing the readers of the book.

Yesterday I decided to sort out my collections. I'd started with a collection of "Influential Content" and it had become too big πŸ˜‚. So I've no broken them all down into smaller collections focused on reuse.

Thank you so much for the mention! That really means a lot, it can't be understated how much me sharing with everyone helps me package up my learning and process any anxieties I've had around them. If you and the community take value from it, its a beautiful bonus. ❀️
