I always read the bad reviews first - and the ones for this book are not exactly making me want to buy it.


What did you think of it, Keith? You didn't really say anything about it in your OP...

I haven't read it Josh.

I don't hold a lot of stock in individual reviews writen online by people I don't know, because of confirmation bias.

 

[Josh66]

because of confirmation bias.

Which is why I start with the bad ones.

 

[Josh66]

I haven't read it Josh.

I have to wonder then, why are you recommending it...?

The funny thing is, how the **** does the writer know how to think like DaVinci? The dude is way dead, can't tell people how he looked at a particular thing and this writer really has no idea. Sound like a genius wrote the piece for morons to waste money on. Just write a book about it yourself KmH, you'll get more out of the experience.
