The book certainly has some relevant pieces still today. I would also encourage leveraging a mentor relationship. Books can often be written for a period in time and a mentor can evolve and help you evolve as the times change. Best of luck in 2022.

Trevor Moawad's It Takes What It Takes can be helpful. While not real estate specific it speaks to neutral thinking and overcoming challenges and fatigue by getting to the truth quickly. Hope this helps and best of luck.
