This book changed my perspective on javascript. Insightful. The writing style is warm and engaging. Each chapter was a revelation. This is the kind of book that stays with you long after finishing. I couldn’t stop reading once I started. It made me reflect on so many aspects of my life. Everyone should read this at least once.
