Today’s book: 212°: The Extra Degree by Sam Parker & Mac Anderson—a short but powerful reminder that small, consistent effort beyond average is what separates good from great.
Here’s your 1-minute summary:
- At 211°, water is hot. At 212°, it boils. That one extra degree creates steam—and steam powers everything from trains to transformation.
- Excellence is built on small margins. Often the difference between winning and losing, success and failure, is a tiny bit more effort, more focus, more persistence.
- Push beyond average. Most people stop at “good enough.” Extraordinary lives are built by those who push just a little further.
- Consistency compounds. The extra degree doesn’t show up once—it shows up in your habits, your attitude, your daily actions.
- Your mindset makes it possible. Believing that your effort matters—and choosing to give it—turns potential into results.
What’s one area of your life where you can turn up the heat by just one degree today?
