To get the most out of this book

Regardless of what your station in life is or the professional role you currently fill, you will get the most benefit and value if you take time to truly consider the best practices found within the pages of each chapter, and then honestly assess in comparison to both your current habits, skills, and career desires.

You do not need to come to the table with any prerequisites to benefit from this book, but we would encourage you to take an old-school approach, take notes in the margins, and highlight text that truly speaks to you. Because this book is not just something you read once, but very well will be referenced again as certain situations come up in your SE career, having these notes and highlights will benefit you. We truly hope you enjoy the journey!
