I read some free kindle books back in the day, that probably only a few thousand other people have read, so very plausibly no one on Lemmy has ready.

So, what books have you enjoyed that you feel confident no one else on Lemmy has read?

The Art Of Learning - Josh Waitzkin

If you saw the movie Searching For Bobby Fischer, you might remember the main character Josh Waitzkin. Based on a true story and book written by his father, the movie tells the story of Josh who becomes a world renowned chess champion at a young age.

IRL, Josh also goes on to compete internationally and excel in Tai Chi Push Hands. In his book, he talks about how he isn't inherently talented at either of these disciplines but that he's learned how to learn and that it can be applied to any interest.

I love that book! I try to read it once a year to keep the ideas lodged in my brain.
