It was fine

I liked it!! However exactly half of it. In my opinion you could stop reading at the start of the mask chapters. I listened to the entire things but they made zero sense to me.

I'm writing a review about this, but tl;dr it's really long and the end is kind of amazing but the first half is a slog, but still good, but also bad. But in many ways good.

I actually preferred this one a lot to the 1st

I enjoyed it a lot I think.

It was pretty good, however a a significant chunk of the book was focused on what I would consider quite basic functions of omnifocus and I was more interested in the last few chapters where the authors went over how they personally used omnifocus.

Can't recommend this enough, every chapter is perfectly concise enough to get its point across in an extremely interesting and inspiring way. I love it.

Um
I'm not even sure what to say. I feel like I need to read a book to understand what I just read. The beginning and ending were great, the end really great, the middle felt mostly like gibberish.

I enjoy optimistic Sci Fi

Some parts are very good, some parts are - I will just say less good. But on the whole it was a very soothing read. The first 2 or so chapters, and the last chapter are the ones that stuck the most with me.

Overall a pretty interesting description of a fast takeoff event. I really enjoyed the moments just before the change and I really liked how this fleshed out some possible motivations of a godlike ASI more than just something that wants paperclips. But the torture porn was a bit dramatic.

3.5

I think this was a really important book for me to read. Sure some sections could have probably been shorter, but there are some ideas in here that I don't see myself ever forgetting and that could also lead to some significant changes in my life.

Some parts felt a little like trying to meet a word count (ahem last chapter), but funnily enough I found the 2001 edition somehow way more applicable to non paper based methods than the 2015 edition.

I definitely found rereading as useful as David Allen said it would be.

An amazing book which made me think a lot about a lot of things.
