    Is Alan Jacobs a good book?

    • How to Think: A Survival Guide for a World at Odds is yet another great read. This book is Alan Jacobs not half-baked but maybe 90% baked, and it’s still fantastic. It felt to me like one long essay, very much in the Jacobs style, which means a lot of trenchant intellectual commentary, delivered smoothly, on interesting stories.

    Is Jacobs a good book?

    • On the bright side, Jacobs shows that it is possible to learn to think better through humility, hard work, and patience. It's a short, genuinely helpful read and the section on how to hold both tightly and loosely to our beliefs is worth the price of admission.
