The book is hard to read. The tools described are simple. Yet, identifying and establishing a meaningful association with day-to-day life can be difficult. Some of the tools are relatively easy. For example, sorta. You can colloquially get it, yet some need significant thought-provoking mind exercises. The book is for philosophers. However, it contains little something for biologists, engineers, mathematicians, and computer scientists. The chapter groups are -
Tools for:
- General Thinking
- Content
- Computers
- Meaning
- Evolution
- Consciousness
- Free Will
The book is for serious readers. But, it's best not to try reading multiple chapters in one go. Try to read a few chapters a day and establish a meaningful connection to how to apply such tools. One should reread the book after a few months for maximum effect.
I recommend the book only for thinkers and readers and not coffee table conversations.
