In 212° the extra degree, we learn the key to achieving results beyond our wildest expectations. At 211 degrees, water is hot. At 212 degrees, it boils. And with boiling water comes steam. And with steam, you can power a train.
It is this surprisingly simple metaphor that has motivated millions to reach for the stars.
How many opportunities have you missed because you were not aware of the possibilities that would occur if you applied a small amount of effort beyond what you normally do? You are now aware. And with awareness comes responsibility…responsibility to act.
I’m sharing an excerpt from 212° the extra degree that will inspire you to take action and implement the 212° philosophy into your own life…the results will be exponential!

212° the extra degree
By Sam Parker
Find out where the 212° idea all began. This original
black-and-white version goes back to the basics:
at 211º water is hot, at 212º it boils. And with boiling
water, comes steam. And with steam, you can power
a train.
Using a straightforward approach, this book will be
sure to encourage and challenge you to give that extra
degree of effort…the extra degree that will produce
exponential results.
