This book by Edwin Friedman came up once on Tim Ferriss in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Max Levchin. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
“Another good book that is off the beaten path, but a great one called A Failure of Nerve. It's a book about leadership”— Max Levchin
