This is the text that goes along with the online course that I am taking now. This text alone is not nearly as powerful as I believe taking the course along with reading it will be. The book feels like "just advice". Working through the puzzles and experiences in the course bring this advice better to light. This book needs something for the reader to connect to. It seems to be written too broadly, towards too wide of an audience. Maybe it is just me...
This was a spur of the minute purchase when I saw it advertised on Audible's daily deals. The books has some useful principles and and advice on how to achieve them:Understand deeplyLearn through failureQuestion everythingUnderstand the flow of ideasIn particular, I really appreciated the advice to deliberately write terrible first drafts (or make terrible first attempts) and then work to improve them.
Nice short book about good habits for effective thinking.It can be read multiple times.
Read this now. Where was this when I was in law school?
Great.
