    The book is quite basic. Don't expect to get much out of it if you have a STEM degree.

      Perplexing how it's on the front page then given the background of the median HN user (presumably technical with some STEM background in general, some pure VC bros peppered in etc).

      The Tao love conquers all, as it were.
