This isn't something I would choose myself (I generally dislike self-help and advice stuff). But I liked it more than I expected to; it is full of useful ideas, especially about how to gather/process what is truly useful and also remain skeptical and logical in the face of a wealth of information.

Not the kind of book you necessarily WANT to read, but a very valuable book everyone should read. The author helps you develop a process to guide you in making medical decisions. This book is best read when you are NOT in crisis, BEFORE you are in crisis
