I love this style of providing a mini contents overview at the beginning before each chapter.

It reminds me of the [Minto Pyramid Principle](https://eus-prd-3310486d43d4-xm1-104-cd.azurewebsites.net/alumni/news-and-events/global-news/alumni-news/barbara-minto-mece-i-invented-it-so-i-get-to-say-how-to-pronounce-it) of laying out your thoughts: start with a TL;DR, then slowly go deeper and deeper.

Also, _[Home Comforts](https://a.co/d/08KswBgQ)_ looks like a fun book.

- Carlos De la Guardia on books where every chapter has its own contents roadmap: [Carlos De la Guardia on X: "Every book has a table of contents, but I’ve only seen two cases where every \*chapter\* has one.
