Great advice for young (or all?) lawyers

This is such a well written book. It describes stories that lead to helpful advice to practicing law. The disposition towards lawyering, in thinking of it as a practice that needs to be honed and worked on everyday, is practical while keeping the attitude towards it as a noble practice. I’ve read it several times and it’s great to listen to on Audible while I’m driving, decompressing from a hard day, or getting charged up for a new one. Great stuff.
