212°: The Extra Degree by Sam Parker and Mac Anderson is a motivational book that emphasizes the power of small, consistent efforts. The central idea is that at 211 degrees, water is hot, but at 212 degrees, it boils—creating steam that can power a locomotive. This serves as a metaphor for how a small extra effort in business, leadership, and personal life can make a significant difference.
