Read at the recommendation of the founders of my company. Some of the techniques I had developed on my own. Some of the techniques I have heard about them before. But still, it is a good collection of them that will prove useful. I found quite interesting that a good number of the techniques only work on physical books, while another chunk of them will work only if you can reserve time at home/office to read. Neither apply to my usual reading patterns. Still good recommendations.
