(I updated my comment with some more details about the rock climbing example.)
I’ll just re-emphasize, though, that I do think that people tend to overuse the soldier mindset, and that there are good arguments to make for not using it as often. I mainly was just pushing back against the OP’s sentiment which felt so effusively positive. In the end, if you’re looking for a readable, slightly-soldier case for a scout mindset, I think her book is great. If you’re hoping for a rather nuanced analysis or lessons on why+when to be less scout-ish, I still think the book is good, but you’ll definitely want to treat it more as a foil for thought.

I think I agree with this take. Thanks!
