I've been fortunate enough to take a class with Sanjoy (The author) covering this book. It was an incredible experience, and he's one of the best mentors I've ever met.

One of the things I found most interesting from the class that you couldn't get from the book was a particular method of assessment. He would pose a question, and allow you to give a weighted answer across a few options, to better understand your uncertainty. It was a very useful pedagogical technique, and allowed me to quantify my understanding in a very tangible way.

I highly recommend the whole book, but especially the first section, on breaking things down.
