Is this "algorithm" based on Adler's book, or is simply an approach you endorse?
(I found "Don't waste your time" ambiguous.)
It's a straight summary of the book's contents. I made bookmarks with these points in shorter format after I originally read it.
As Rain said it is based on the book.
The more I read your post the more difficulty I have in answering. I don't know how valuable your time is, so cannot say if this book is worth your time or not.
It is not worth mine, but, alas, it was once.
If you read a book by starting on the first word and going to the next one until you arrive at the last one, then read it, the first half.
If you never read a book arguing for the classics, then read it, the second half.
Or instead of following what I say skim it, and decide if it is worth your time.
Even better, use the algorithm above on a book that you know is worth your time, and if you find the algorithm worth it, then you can infer that the book may also be worth it.
