Water is hot at 211 degrees. Heat it to 212 and it boils, producing steam. And with steam, you can create power.
One extra degree changes everything.
That's the 212 concept.
In this newly revised and expanded edition, it’s never been more actionable
Exclusive to this edition:
Rewritten introduction that goes deeper into what 212 actually means, and why the last degree is never the whole story
