[Greg K · Rating 4 out of 5]

The major redeeming quality of this book is that it is not offensive. There is nothing particularly new or terribly enlightening in this book, but the author manages to systematically set primary methods of thinking in one place, even if somewhat shallow. The mathematical aspect is just a shtick, there is nothing particularly mathematical about things described, but I assume this is what the author thinks sells the books, so it is a fair game. I actually bought the book because I was looking at some light reading and a couple of hours I needed to go through the content wasn't unenjoyable - mainly because of the author's personality. This is the main reason for the four stars, instead of a far lower rating if we'd be talking only about the topics covered. Moreover, I liked the author's (literary) voice so much, I just bought another book of his (on the game theory), so I am in for another unassuming, uncomplicated convo with a book when my mind is already fried from the daily stress.

I can't recommend it as a source of knowledge, but I consider it a great alternative to mindless entertainment read -- at least you'll remember old maxims that have been absorbed in our heads long time ago and we run them on autopilot with no checks and balances.

I am not sure if it is a good book or not, but I can say I have different expectations from the title.

Worth the Money but a Bit Lacking

I'd give this book a recommendation to someone who needs a quick math book that's not too deep in the mathematical trenches so to speak, but honestly I was hoping for a bit more.

The chapter on linear thinking and non-linear thinking was the highlight for me. It was really interesting and I think I'll be exploring it further.

I wish that when math was used in the book it was a bit more clear what was going on. Overall though I think it's well worth the investment because it's short even though some parts pack a punch more than others.

Good concept but not as lucid as other books from author

I liked the classification of different types or categories of mathematical thinking. They were good. The listing of errors in arguments was interesting. More examples from real life scenario might have made better impact (errors)

This book does have important building blocks to get anyone started on the right path to being successful within mathematics. I would definitely recommend this book.

This book could have easily been thicker with more information, that would have been a plus, but for simplicity sake, it makes sense.

Excuse the minor grammar mistakes. This book definitely is worth reading and using as reference.

It says 'thinking' not a book on problem solving x + y = z and i think it indeed delivered on educating on that. That said i can't say i felt the education was avant-garde but i certainly believe i have added some knowledge.

As far as self-help books go, you could definitely do worse. While I think the content is fairly interesting, I find it hard to find anything that sticks out in my mind after reading it.

[Morgan Pearce · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good thoughts to pair with what I read in Grit, and what I'm currently reading, Deep Work.

Average read

Nothing in there which will make people loving Math.
Gives a self help feel to it. Was expecting a bit more technical,

[Bassam Khan · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was expecting some unique or interesting advice specifically for Mathematics but it's a more general sort of book.

Would have been better to read this at 13 years old.
