Well, I like the whole idea of L and R side of brain and how to get the best of them together. The book describes many good ideas how to read, learn and improve that skill which is for not only for programmers mandatory these days.It took me quite long to finish the book, its quite heavy read and you need to focus quite a lot. I would say to fully get the point of book, I would need to read it at least once more. Very easy read and full of real world applications. Hunt's well thought out book boils human cognitive science down to useful methods to help readers improve their learning and creativity. I disagree with his description of generations and personalities and it doesn't match most current research or descriptions of millennials. Other than the author's choice to write directly to software programmers, there is nothing unique about this book, but overall the author does a good job of explaining human cognition concepts that are applicable for anyone trying to learn something new.
This has quickly become one of my favorite books. I like the emphasis on tying the ideas for improvement to physical properties of the brain and the explanations of why things work in terms of neuroscience. One of my favorite parts of this book answered the question I've asked a umber of people over the last couple years - how do you effectively read a book and retain the information. And his solutions are practical and do work, as I've used several of them as I've read different books and learned several new concepts at work.
