Some books are conversations rather than lectures, and Do Epic Shit is firmly the former. Ankur Warikoo writes in short bursts, the kind of thinking that fits on a single page and can be argued with immediately, which is a very different discipline from building a long case chapter by chapter.
The territory is work, money, failure and the daily habits sitting underneath both. What gives the writing its edge is a willingness to be unglamorous about setbacks; the register is closer to a candid older colleague than to a motivational stage. It sits on our business and money shelves, though its real subject is the person doing the work.
