Arthur Benjamin has content available via Great Courses. I'd watched those videos with my oldest child. Amazon credits spent.

Good luck!

For eBook deals, you always want to check your local library first if it's available to borrow.

Not an unreasonable check list, and I'm with you if it stops needless consumption, but you forgot at least one important consideration. Almost everyone I know is stretched thin today.

Does it make your life better or easier.....

IOW, Will it save you time, struggle, etc. and allow you to relax, do nothing, or even more/other things? Can you afford not to acquire the [item]?

It's like buying software utilities. I could say that I don't need it because I can do the work manually, but what does that really cost me? Time, effort, frustration (even utilities are not free from these issues, but...).

How dense are you? It's a joke. Poster can't calculate the tax since they (for the sake of the post) aren't good at mental math. But, if real, the tax question was a dumb question to begin with.

I'm not an expert but doesn't it just boil down to practice? Mental math is just automaticity. If you practice something enough times, it just sticks in your head, like learning a new language. Maybe this book teaches little tricks (teachers call them "strategies" or "methods"), but it still takes individual learners to practice the tricks so it moves into long-term memory. The real "secret" is discipline and grit to continually practice.
