Simple Rules
Ratings2
Average rating3
Maybe I'm just used to hearing about this kind of stuff, but I feel like this didn't really say anything new or profound. I kept hanging with it to see if it would get better, but was a little disappointed. The gist is exactly the title - have simple rules. Use rules to make decisions, and only have a few of them. The book went through a lot of examples and stories so if you're into that kind of stuff maybe you'd enjoy it more than me. Loved the concept, just felt like it could have been a blog post instead of a whole book
I enjoyed Simple Rules. Some of the examples were useful. A Simple Rule I already follow is “Don't keep reading if it seems to be repeating itself”. This book suffered from that problem, so I skimmed the second half and that's that.
