> it felt like my IQ went up a couple of points after reading it

That's the problem with productivity porn. You feel smarter and more productive, that you're becoming a better human being. In reality, you've accomplished nothing and all the hard work is still ahead of you.




That’s a valid point probably, but that’s not what I meant. I am more aware of myself, and am more methodical when gathering information or reading a book after reading “How to read a book”
