What I liked - The advices. What I didn't like - The chapters had many examples, which is a good thing, but I got pretty bored of the book. I usually read few paragraphs and then make notes but when I actually thought about what I learnt from reading those few paragraphs, nothing came up in my mind. The same point was stressed multiple times in different ways. So I recommend this for someone who wants to learn about this "tips" with lots of examples that draw the same conclusion. But the examples do solidify the concepts they talk about.
For people who just want to learn how to study properly while retaining as much as possible, I recommend "The Only Study Guide You'll Ever Need"

“How to avoid a climate disaster” is a kind of book that has everything we need to know about a particular subject. This book broadens our mind and gives a complete overview of what is causing the climate change and what should we do to stop it and why should we even care... It starts off by saying why we should stop our emissions ASAP in chapter 1. Chapter 2 gives an overview of why it'll be hard. Till Chapter 8 the books contains chapters on different essentials of a human like food, electricity, travels and since those will be the biggest emittors of greenhouse gases... it gives us some information like advantages and disadvantages of using the alternatives that are being developed that does not produce greenhouse gases. Chapter 9 is about adapting to the new warm world. Chapter 10 is about the role that government must take and how it impacts us. Chapter 11 is summary of the plan for getting to 0 emission by 2050. Chapter 12 gives us an idea of the things that we can do to reduce emissions.
If you are looking for a good book on climate change then I totally recommend this book!

Name : Astrophysics for young people in a hurry.
Author : Neil Degrasson Tyson.
By one of the most well known astrophysicist, Neil Degrasson Tyson, Astrophysics for young people in a hurry is a great book packed with 12 chapters explaining different things of the cosmos. This book is for beginners, you don't need any prior knowledge on any subjects to understand the things explained here. So I recommend this book for everyone, even who has some knowledge of the topics explained here I'm pretty sure that you'll learn something that you didn't know.
Black Holes: The BBC Reith Lectures by Stephen Hawking
This book is a small one and could be easily finished in an hour. If you are currently starting to learn or thought to begin the quest of learning about Black Holes from this book then I think this isn't for you. Many of the things required re-reading them as it includes fairly complicated topics from Quatum Physics like Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, virtual particles, strange things about vacuum etc... In Thermodynamics the entropy things and many other such topics. So it would not be so welcoming to newbies. I am currently reading another book which is for absolute beginners somewhat like me so stay tuned for that.
