Spark Notes No Fear Shakespeare Othello (SparkNotes No Fear Shakespeare)

by SparkNotes Editors

This is really useful in actually understanding what Othello is about because it puts all the Shakespearean stuff in plain English side by side. Prior to reading this, I’d been reading the original text without the English ‘translation’ and I thought I was already quite familiar with the play. On reading the No Fear Shakespeare edition of Othello, I realised I didn’t quite know it as well as I thought I did.

If you’re taking an exam on Othello (like me), it’s a good idea to get this book because it helps a lot with comprehension.

Why I gave up consuming "Make Your Mind Work for You: New Mind Power Techniques to Improve Memory, Beat Procrastination, Increase Energy, and More"

Make Your Mind Work for You: New Mind Power Techniques to Improve Memory, Beat Procrastination, Increase Energy, and More

by Joan Minninger

Too much on the different parts of the mind and how they work and too little on how to actually “improve memory, beat procrastination, increase energy and more”

SUCCESSFUL BUT SOMETHING MISSING: A GUIDE TO ENJOYING LIFE TO THE FULL

by BEN RENSHAW

This book has LOTS of quotes. If you like quotes and stories, this is a book for you. It mostly talks about self acceptance, forgiveness and happiness with many personal stories, anecdotes, and references to other self-help books/authors.

Overall I’d say it was a good read, touches on various topics but doesn’t go very much in depth on each.

Intuition Training-audio

I didn’t get much out of this book. It’s a little too weird for me ;x

Why I gave up consuming "Edward De Bono's Smart Thinking"

Edward De Bono's Smart Thinking

by Edward de Bono

I thought it was really boring. Didn’t feel it was worth my time getting through the rest of the book.
