I think the main benefit from this method is just reading easy books (biographies, etc) before reading dense, hard books so the dense books will make more sense

- JackFr 7y agoNot so much easy, as books with a non-pedagogical narrative. Motivating anecdotes connected by a story of some kind, put the topic in a context that can make it more approachable.
- asdfman123 7y agoYeah, this is how the best science books are written IMHO. "First we tried to figure out the properties of matter, then this whole 'atom' thing started making sense, then we figured out about subatomic particles, then we realized that subatomic particles actually act pretty weird -- so that's quantum mechanics." If you were to just start at quantum mechanics, you'd wonder why the heck everything is so weird and overly complicated.
