GoodreadsReview
A pretty standard book about thinking. It is engaging and I didn't get that bored. But, really this is rehashing of everything I already learned and heard was helpful in school. Take notes over long periods of time. You can't just read, test yourself, you try hard. Perhaps, the most useful idea I got from this is that all these things I already learned can have a real % increase on your performance/speed of life. And don't you just want to have more time for everything.
