She does not say "you should x" without giving you the step by step instructions to HOW to achieve this goal.
I think it is short and concise enough for people to get the message without being overloaded by extraneous "learning theory" and verbiage.
I know SS is seen as radical by some. She is not by me; I find her immensely pragmatic but her messages, like many home truths, are unpalatable to many.
I originally was just going to buy the Train to Adopt book (about how to maximise the chances of shelter dogs being rehomed) but I could not resist this one as well.
I am a bit of a SS groupie I am afraid.......
