I thought this was going to be a graphic novel as it's very short. But it's a no nonsense guide for everyone to getting good in whatever is your goal or passion. I like that there's no waffle, this info is helpful for anyone who wants to learn or do something. I want to learn a language and found the tips useful. It's good to dream but dreams only take you so far, you need a realistic idea of how to get there and this guide shows you that. It also tells you how to deal with set backs. Short, to the point why can't more advice be like this.

A quick read, short yet practical. I would suggest this would be a good read or teenagers or young adults just venturing into the world.

Fantastic book! I love that on one of the first pages it says if you don’t need to Get Good at anything then please pass this book on to someone else that does! Great lessons to be learned.

Get Good is an insult for most people who play video games, a response to someone complaining about losing.
Oh, you lost a game where the opponent also wanted to win, then "get good" loser. Sometimes abbreviated "gg", the idea to me means "I guess you have to get better since no one will let you win".

Short and practical. Like a blog post summarizing several "how to learn books", but without the stories of the author using the steps outlined in the book.

First third of the book is introduction, honestly a good start of how the idea of "Get Good" got started, a little repetitive but a quick read. Lots of pictures and bullet points.

The book seems padded to 75 digital pages, but I read it in one sitting. Would be great for a teenager to remind them of the potential they have trapped in their future.
