[Güçhan · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a book that is hard to read because Lasker came up with idealised or perfect versions of existing phenomena and gave them new names but didn't bother to explain them in detail. Of course that does not mean the book is not worth reading, it is quite the opposite.
Even though the book is more than a century old, most of Lasker's ideas are still very fresh and applicable. The practical aspects of his ideas make this book a good one in the self-help category in my opinion.

This is must-have-been-had years ago. Found russian pirate translation on my old kindle and couldn't go sleep before finishing the piece. It's awesome. It's cruel. It's punishing and smart. Read it, if you're Ukrainian.
