When you study a subject for a decade, when you reject job offers to spend a full year focusing on it—experimenting with crazy ideas like alternating between 20 and 80 hours of work per week or watching 70h of TED talks in a single week—you for sure end up with new insights and valuable lessons to share. This is this book. The books comprise 25 chapters explaining the 25 most effective (and existing) techniques that the author discovered and experimented with. If you are looking for a first book on the subject, it's definitely a good one. Regrouping effective techniques in a well-organized volume makes them even more useful. "Atomic Habits" (which you must read too) is another great example of a book presenting existing knowledge in a way that gives even more meaning to the content.

This book has a lot of great examples and tips on how to train your brain to work better, including basic things like sleep and specific food examples. I liked that it included prompts to write down notes about each topic, but I found that much of its content was building up for what comes next instead of focusing on one thing. I'm not sure if this would bother anyone else, but it sure bothered me. However, I find it does include good advice and is actually helpful.

Great book, I feel that I will be able to read at a much faster rate while comprehending more as well. Many golden nuggets within this book, I couldn’t recommend it more!
