• Shane Parrish: “This book is amazing and eerie. First to the amazing. ER had an incredible life. The changes she witnessed, the people she connected with, the causes she fought for – all of these gave her a unique and wise perspective. This comes across in the book as she discusses everything from economics to education.”
