Seriously, this book made my day. Especially since it focused on simulation. Heartwarming. Each chapter felt like chatting with a really smart friend. The tone was super inviting without dumbing things down. It somehow made me laugh and think at the same time. I loved how it mixed serious insight with friendly storytelling. Give it a try—you might just love it too!
