This book does an excellent job of presenting useful info on learnign techniques and the underlying processes. The only issue (if being applicable to a wider range of subjects than ouright stated is a downside) is that the book frames everything strictly in terms of math and science, despite the fact that the advice it gives apllies to learning subjects in general.

Amazing breakdown of how to better learn essensially any subject, as well as a good window into how to decide what might be worth learning.

Way too suspenseful for its length, great read.

Not helpful to forming a useful worldview. Resorts to trying to be the only acceptable way to view the world in order to justify it's assumptions and undermine the other.

Interesting read, basically a long essay on how games interact with art as a concept.

Very nostalgic book

Feels a bit out of date in places but that's probably inevitable in a practical book on conversation. Overall a great guide to unlearning bad conversational habits and improving conversational skill.

This book gives tells a lot about the fuzzier side of creative management and how to cooperate with people in a really effective way. Catmull distills useful concepts about feedback and openness while leaving room for individual development of style and culture. Worth reading if your interested in creative leadership.

Practical and flexible advice.

Really dry and hard to read in places, but the ideas Dahl talks about are incredibly useful for understanding what makes democracy function.

Great book, makes a great compromise between not needlessly punishing yourself and actively seeking to learn and grow from mistakes. Includes some great insights about American culture and how conflict propagates between different groups.

This book does a great job of talking about complex neuroscience topics and presenting them in a useful and easy to grasp way. The focus on selecting various interesting case studies and then elucidating the various factors involved keeps it from getting too dry, there's always an interesting narrative to keep reading for and a context to place new ideas into.

Other than that, the explanations of how the sense of self is protected by all these unconscious factors helps make sense of a lot of strange human actions. Great read for people who like learning about how brains work.

An entertaining read, but it doesn't commit to a conclusion, preferring instead to present many conflicting perspectives on the subject. Might be an easy in for an outsider to the subject matter, but I can't say as I don't have any knowledge of it outside of this book.
