This is not a book about excelling at math and science; it is a book about excelling at learning. It contains insightful knowledge that I have not read anywhere else. The problems are clear, and their solutions are discussed in a concise and understandable manner.
I think learning is a difficult topic as it is extremely individual and is also one of the most important skills to have.
