Source Reviews

Or, the good, the bad, and the as-yet-undecided.
While I've learned something from all my sources, some were more useful for their intended purposes than others.

Organization

     As you may have noticed, the blog has undergone some substantial organization changes recently to make it more aesthetically pleasing and easily navigable (remember those goals of mine?).

Sources

 This is a list of the books and sites that I have been using for my research. Most information presented in other blog posts comes from one of the following sources.

     I've been looking around at potential books for the class for second quarter, because while The Talent Code seems perfectly interesting, it also seems to be almost exactly the same as Outliers. Of course, that's kind of what the teachers want us to read, but I figured we could at least get a book with a better title. 

Bounce: Mozart, Federer, Picasso, Beckham, and the Science of Success by Matthew Syed

The Wisdom of Psychopaths: What Saints, Spies, and Serial Killers Can Teach Us About Success by Kevin Dutton

Book, books galore!

     Some potentially interesting material in varying degrees of relevance. The general trend is from most to least relevant, but there are some stragglers. As you may be able to tell, there are many books I find potentially interesting. Format in parentheses for books that I actually have.

What I Know...

...about non-Euclidean geometry: absolutely nothing, other than that it's hopefully confusing. My book is Introduction to Non-Euclidean Geometry by Harold Wolfe.
