I am so incredibly glad I read this book, and the biggest takeaway message for me was be soft on people, be hard on structures. 

It feels kind of hopeless to be in this constant battle where the left is not uniting around a defined strategy and find ourselves in constant arguments. The dissent within the group is important in the because the problems that we have don't have simple fixes, it's structural overhauls. How does that get better when people want to be coaxed with easy fixes.
