Books

I love small books. I love short books. To the point. I always appreciated John Cleeses humour, and this book – even though its not going into much detail – shows a little bit of his thinking process around creativity.

Especially the part regarding hare brain, tortoise mind struck a cord with me. That an important part of creativity seems to be ones ability to be comfortable with things being unsettled for long enough to find creative solutions.

Great and light read. No single ground-breaking thoughts, but a very cohesive and interesting read. Easy to read, in the style of M. Gladwell, R. Holiday etc.

Great, light read on general life wisdom from Naval. Mostly no-fuss stupidly obvious tips, but nonetheless very straightforward and on point.

Great and light read. Kind of a bummer with certain sections that I had already read in blog form before (three sides to risk especially), but otherwise a very fun and engaging read.

Better than expected. Somehow I expected it to fall short of "Can't Hurt Me", but I was pleasantly surprised.

Some things that I found interesting and novel was the idea of recording yourself, and listening back to it - as an alternative note-taking method.

Partly very good and of course a very inspiring and engaging story. Overall though I found it suffered from overly verbose and difficult to read vocabulary. I guess my English is not good enough to fully enjoy a book of this vocabulary.

Fairly easy and enjoyable read, but not all the rage I feel people sell it as.
