I have actually read stuff over the break! A friend gifted Rise of Kyoshi for Secret Santa and I devoured it in three days. I got Shadow of Kyoshi and been flipping through it. I also started an art study group and we are reading "The Art of Learning" by Joshua Waitzkin; the study group only has the intro and 1st chapter assigned but I've already gone through 3 or 4.
I’m a grad student in Instructional Design, so I’m pulling more meat of the bone than your average reader; but it’s not self-help per se. He talks about his experience learning things, the attitude, process and references some research to back it up. That’d said the biggest thing and most important factor I’m gathering is how important mentorship is.

Is this something that's actually practical, or is it just another self-help book?

Will it help me learn better?
