But this book is written specifically for businesses and is all about creating a service culture. In case you are not familiar with the 212 concept, here it is in a nutshell:

At 211 degrees water is hot. At 212 degrees, it boils. And with boiling water, comes steam. And steam can power a locomotive. The one extra degree makes the difference.
