The responsibility to dig deeper is, therefore, on you, depending on what you see as valuable. Here is a list of books that we highly recommend looking into before module 2. We do not have these books available for you because of copy-right restriction, but finding them online shouldn't be a problem.\ \ **Tips/checklist:** 1. Read what **interests** you. 2. Find **free reading materials**. Check out libgen. (Libgen is not legal.) 3. Relate what you read to **your own life**. How does the reading apply to you, and how can you apply what you read in a different context? 4. Ask yourself questions while reading, what is the **essence** of what is being communicated here? 5. Be critical, what does the writer **assume or depend** upon? ## Read **1.** Brown, Peter C. 2014. *Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning*.

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://futureleadersglobal.gitbook.io/program/resources/gathering-prep/preparatory-work/advanced-further-reading.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
