Seems like it could be a core LW book, just like how The Precipice was the big book for EA. I definitely think that, one way or another, the CFAR handbook should be taken into account (since it’s explicitly more optimized to train executives and other clients a wider variety of people vrom various backgrounds).
I made a ton of assumptions based off of this though, and I never checked to see whether the CFAR handbook was stated to help those particular people. So I retracted parts of my comment that were based on assumptions that I should have checked before stating that it was clearly for executives.
Ah wow, yeah as Zach notes that’s a totally different CFAR.
An important thing about the CFAR handbook is that it was mostly optimized as a companion to workshops. For a longtime, the first chapter in the CFAR handbook warned you “this was not actually designed to give you any particular experience, we have no idea what reading this book will do if not accompanied by a workshop.”
The current CFAR Handbook publishing that Duncan is doing has some additional thought put into it as a standalone series of essays, but I don’t think it’s optimized the way you’re imagining.

Different CFAR!
