Great read with several metaphors to consider (IE rolling as a chess match) as well as breakdowns of different core principles (position, posture, pressure)

yep, its game changer

This one's good too One of Saulo's black belts Paul Guillobel wrote it.

Paulo Guillobel book is awesome! Paulo Guillobel

Here's another short one that makes for good beach/vacation reading and slow mental marination: https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Immutable-Principles-Brazilian-Jiu-Jitsu/dp/1514109328/ref=pd_bxgy_14_img_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=D0DXFH28CDMJWW032VEG

That White Belt to Blue Belt book helped me form some good training habits (like keeping a journal); this one articulates core principles in BJJ. For me this was important, because it's hard for me to remember all the details of every move and technique that the prof. teaches in class, and this book provided the skeleton on which all these techniques hang. Often before, I wouldn't understand the point of certain details of techniques and sequences, but after reading this, I had a much more solid conceptual framework that helped me "fill in the blanks" on things that I didn't understand before or details that I straight up forgot from other techniques.

So it's helped me make more sense of a lot of stuff that I've seen, specific, actionable areas in which I was/am weak, and understand new stuff much faster.
