I like it, but I wish its main point would stick better in my mind somehow. (This was true when I read it last year, and again when I re-skimmed it now.) I, too like the ladder metaphor; I agree that it helps get people thinking about on-ramps, and that that this is valuable; I like the examples and techniques about remembering how you got there, imagining a new early-you who showed up today, etc. But: I still feel there’s a “whole” you’re gesturing at that’s not quite sticking in my head, and I wonder if a slight rewrite could get it to?
