Art & Fear? It's also the third-highest-score comment on HN: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...
yes, its from Art & Fear.

The Art of War is unrelated but also form an insightful fella. more focused on adversarial confrontations than Art & Fear though

So, I have now put /War of Art/ and /Art and Fear/ in my queue. I also have a physical of /Art of War/ somewhere. I'm assuming that is a different thing, though.
yes, it is. no idea why i read Art of War before :-)
I don't think you were alone in that. I stared at it for a while making sure I had it right. :D
I really disliked that book, I found nothing actionable in it.

It is so often recommended that I read it to the end thinking there would be some jewel waiting for me. There wasn't.

The problem with the so called self help book is. There are so obvious for some and totally novel for others.
