“@ValidLogic That’s one of the best for sure. “The Art of Learning” by Josh Waitzkin is required reading. All of @tferriss ‘s books are quite good. “4Hour Chef” most hits this area. For mindset “The Inner Game of Tennis” by Timothy Gallwey and “Mind Gym”by Gary Mack are both excellent. | Strips down the esoteric nature of applied sport psychology.”

Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy. Recommended by 8 sources.
“Soft-spoken, heavily illustrated fable built from short dialogues and watercolor sketches. Each spread pairs a spare line of text with a loose drawing, so the pleasure is visual and aphoristic rather than narrative; readers collect felt-true sentences more than plot. Most useful when you want quick consolations, a prompt for conversation with a child, or a pause during a rough day. Limiting if you want sustained argument, concrete advice, or tightly plotted storytelling: the repetition of gentleness can feel sentimental or thin after a while.”
