    Found the book a bit slow in places. Good points were made, but could have been more concise. Still, a unique and valuable viewpoint.

    A wonderfully written and thought-provoking book. Crawford’s passion is infectious. I am ready to start a new project.

  7. Ishwar Sharma

    I appreciated the author’s passion. Some of the philosophical arguments were hard to follow. Worth reading if you’re interested in craftsmanship.

  8. Rakesh Kumar Sharma

    I enjoyed the book but some of it was dry. I agreed with many of the ideas put forward. Glad i read it.

  9. Jasprit Singh

    The writing could have been better. The overall message about working with your hands was good. A good message.

  10. Manish Kumar

    It was okay but too long. I skipped some chapters. The author’s ideas are repeated more then once.

  11. Arjun – Malik

    I enjoyed the philosophical bent, but it sometimes felt disconnected from the actual shop floor. Still, it made me think about the value of my own work.

  12. T Nikhil

    I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys working with their hands. There is so much to consider here.

  13. Anonymous

    Interesting concepts, but some felt repetitive. The author’s personal anecdotes were engaging. Overall, a decent read.

  14. Thejus Chandran C

    An interesting perspective on the modern world, but it felt a bit preachy at times. Good food for thought, but not a light read.

  15. Muhammed Safwan K

    A thought-provoking read. Crawford makes a compelling case for the dignity of manual labor. Some parts felt a bit dense, but overall, a worthwhile perspective.

  16. Rohan Sachdeva

    The book had some interesting points, but I wish it focused more on practical examples and less on philosophical musings.

  17. Kumar Keshav

    A great read for anyone who enjoys working with their hands. Crawford eloquently defends the importance of skilled labor. A real eye-opener!

  18. Tanvi Tyagi

    Excellent read about importance of thinking and physical work. I thought the author was well spoken on both issues.
