Ultralearning: Master Hard Skills, Outsmart the Competition, and Accelerate Your Career by Scott H. Young

3.5

---

Avoids the typical self-help pitfalls like trying to teach borderline sociopaths how to make friends with people or using magical thinking to become a millionaire. The book gives solid advice, but also makes it clear that learning is tough and takes massive amounts of hard work. Ultralearning seems like a good method once personalized to your own workflow and I'm sure I'll try a serious project soon.
